Viewsonic smart displays

Hi
I wonder if anyone has had a look at one of these:
http://www.viewsonic.com/smartdisplays/

I am toying with the idea of getting one of these or a tablet pc 
with a view to using it for some HA tasks and "normal" pc usage.
My 
ultimate aim is use it as a multi-use controller for lighting, hi-fi 
and home theatre use with some kind(s) of custom built front-end 
with nice icons and control panels with a personal touch (logo or 
user/location detail) sort of thing!!!
Anyway, I would be interested in your opinions of a comparason (with 
the HA goal in mind) as to which way is best: Smart Display Vs 
TabletPC. I know the tablets are more costly, but it may be worth 
the extra??!
The 10.4" version sells for $999 and the 15" for $1299. They are
offering a free $199 dock/stand. But it is probably one those valid 
in the US only deals.
If anyone has been thinking getting one, I would be interested to 
hear from them (on or off list)as to whether there is any point in 
buying 2 or more (I don't think bulk-buy would work for this one!) 
but there may be savings in shipping or customs etc.
