You can always get a table docking station or bluetooth keyboard if you need to "type away"; but I agree with you and think my MacBook Air is far superior to tablets; so I am like you, waiting for the price to come down and for the Android tablet OS and market to mature. I can't find an easy fit for a tablet between my MBA and my Samsung Galaxy SII for another device. The MBA is light, powerful and works well just about every place I would use a tablet; except where I use a phone; and my new 4.3in AMOLED screen on the GSII is more than "good enough" for all other places where a bigger, heavier tablet might come into play.
I'm also in "wait mode" for a tablet, like you. I did not feel this way before I purchased my MBA, BTW.

gluttabletbuttonfunc
glutTabletButtonFunc(3GLUT) GLUT glutTabletButtonFunc(3GLUT)
NAME
glutTabletButtonFunc - sets the special keyboard callback for the current window.
SYNTAX
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
void glutTabletButtonFunc(void (*func)(int button, int state,
int x, int y));
ARGUMENTS
func The new tablet button callback function.
DESCRIPTION
glutTabletButtonFunc sets the tablet button callback for the current window. The tablet button callback for a window is called when the
window has tablet input focus (normally, when the mouse is in the window) and the user generates tablet button presses. The button parame-
ter will be the button number (starting at one). The number of available tablet buttons can be determined with glutDe-
viceGet(GLUT_NUM_TABLET_BUTTONS). The state is either GLUT_UP or GLUT_DOWN indicating whether the callback was due to a release or press
respectively. The x and y callback parameters indicate the window relative coordinates when the tablet button state changed.
Registering a tablet button callback when a tablet device is not available is ineffectual and not an error. In this case, no tablet button
callbacks will be generated.
Passing NULL to glutTabletButtonFunc disables the generation of tablet button callbacks. When a new window is created, no tablet button
callback is initially registered.
