Is it a matter of hardware or software?


It's a little of column A, a little of column B.  (For the record, it's the
Asus EEE Transformer, and it is AWESOME for the things a tablet is good
for...where the majority of the dataflow is from it to you.)

The keyboard is so-so.  The touchpad puts a virtual finger on the screen,
sort of, except it is only "touching" when tapped.
The software is Android, which is great for easy things, terrible for
complicated things.
Google Docs behaves wildly differently on the tablet vs. a PC.
