MMmmmm, I don't know about that, I think it will probably take a little 
longer than 6-8 months. I'd predict that by the start of 2012, tablets 
*will* have made some advances, but they won't have gone that far yet.

Keep in mind that mobile devices with dual-core CPU's are still the 
exception, not the norm, and if you can find a tablet into which you can 
put 4GB of RAM, please let me know, I'll go buy one...
