I'm actually waiting for a camera-enabled iPad. Imagine being able to Skype with friends/family while lying back on your couch. Or even docking it at the dining table, with Skype turned on, while eating dinner. (That way you'd still be able to have family dinners, even while separated by distance.)

It's unlikely that the WePad would have Skype installed, with that Android/Linux OS. Sigh.

Why is it unlikely? I regularly skype from my Linux desktop.

Seriously? Hrmm! I wonder if that's possible within Android within Linux ... (goes off to Skype website)

You can do all of these now (and have been able to for many years). If you don't have a laptop, netbooks are great for this and only cost $200-300. No need to buy a stand so you can use it without your hands either :).
