Furthering the Metro Across Windows concept, what would you like to see out of a tablet formfactor?

Obviously this is an early early idea, and I'm honestly not sold on how I set this up, but it seems like the extra space would be useful, possibly intergrating some social feed to see the moment you turn on the phone, placed in simple english without any true indication of network unless you click the name to initiate communication back.

Overall, what would you like in a tablet? And any ideas how to improve this? Thanks!

nice, though not sure apps need to be quite as front and center ... maybe on a parorama or slide out drawer?

the thing where the iPad and Android tablets kill anything running Win7 is the existence of finger friendly versions of apps like Outlook ... unless I can use a slate to triage email and read RSS and Twitter (and respond to them) on the elliptical before work or on the train it's a dumb compromise of form factors.

metro actually holds a lot of hope for a great experience (either on top of Win7/8 or a CE version of the OS)

Apps are a large focus in most mobile devices these days, so it would appear that apps should be a focus as well on a Metro-style device, though how is another question.

In truth though, I'm partial to the camp that thinks Microsoft must start from scratch, alike to the Windows Phone, vs. building from some other structure without that purpose in mind (Windows 7 isn't touch focused, neither was Windows Mobile).

The biggest thing that hurts Microsoft, and is also a partial advantage, is legacy. The thing is, that legacy doesn't have a purpose in a mobile device.
