Super LCD, mSATA 64GB SSD. 2 MP webcam. 8MP back camera with flash. Audio out, Microphone. Sim slot?, 4G? You decide. Stereo 1.5W speakers. Software amp/graphic EQ to make louder if needed.
all ports are covered and are activated by pushing on them and they pop out; push to lock. This maintains a certain high quality look to the tablet. Should be as light as possible but try to keep it below 700 grams. Angular or flat edges with curved corners similar to Microsoft surface to avoid apple patents. Make the finish look metalic. Or if plastic to reduce weight add metalic highlights or a metalic/chrome colored ring around the tablet or someting. This would help to make it more solid and feel more premium in users hands.
Stylus silo.
Black color. Chrome buttons/touch areas.
Instead of buttons for volume and rotation lock etc. You can use soft buttons/touch surfaces. Power should be a hard button still though. Further pushes the premium objective.
No air vents at all. Use your expertice in making silent graphic cards to figure this out. Or use convection water pipe idea below.
Comes with MS Office, Skype, Live Essentials, PDF Reader, Adobe flash, Universal Viewer, Media Center ?, Facebook, Youtube/ Twitter apps or launchers. Evernote subscription for 1 months, good Scheduler app, good quick note taking app that has good hand recognition, Voice recognition app for launching actions. A service that finds apps the executive wants to use. It should ask what he would like or what business he is in (Graphics design/Accounting/Stocks/Travel etc and fetch the best apps to satisfy those areas) He then desides which ones he wants to install. For example if he is interested in twitter the tablet should be able to suggest that he install TweetDeck. If he works in stocks. It should display a list of good stock or market apps and the Wall Street journal subscription. This allows the Executive to start work immediately and improves significantly the out of the box experience. Thereby increasing the preceived value of the machine.
