Huh? PDAs have been around for years. > The iPod Touch etc are OK as wireless touchscreen remotes, but they're > not fantastic. I'd like something with more screen real estate. They're not going to get any larger.

Yeah, but that doesn't change the usage models that currently exist, so some new consumer product category isn't likely to spring up overnight. The cheap little web browser things linked to above may be as close as it gets. The problem they have is that the touchscreen technology on a small screen requires great software, and only a company like Apple has the resources to do the R&D to implement it. The junk you buy from Asus and the Chinese companies is going to suck. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51139 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
