yes (not 100% sure but i think you can still use them as a touch screen when they aren't swiveled around and folded flat - but best to check that)

Well, you couldn't 'slide' it out, but you could 'swivel' it out and up... You can 'swivel' them also so it's like a normal laptop but the screen is pointing the opposite way (away from the keyboard - if that makes sence) - would be handy for positioning it with the base inside the glovebox and the screen pointed towards the passenger seat - plus you could swivel it towards the driver to - for easier viewing etc...
And of course you could take it out if you had it connected easily - my suggestion would to actually get a model that has a docking station (if they are available) - that way you can connect up the tablet pc via the docking station to the car - that means you just need to plug it in and out of the docking station rather than pluging in cables all the time when you get into the car. The docking station could stay in the glove box etc connected to the car.. anyhow, i'm just thinking out loud.
You in QLD XRQTOR? (probably should check your profile but i'm in the middle of this reply). If so, and you are part of the XR club of QLD - i hope to get along to some of their cruises in the future, we could chat about it then...
My best advice to start with would track some of these tablet models down (see if HN stock any etc - last time i checked they had 1 model in stock - best bet would be the Bundall store at the Gold Coast - if in QLD - as they have a good range) and just check them out - look at their features and see if it really is what you are after - and if they can do all the things u want

[EDIT]: just noticed you're in Sydney - ignore the QLD references above - but I still suggest getting out and looking at some models to play with and see what you think. If you've got any more questions let me know (pm me if it's not for a few days cause i'll eventually stop checking this thread :1syellow1 )
