@BallantyneGuy IF a slate sized device came cheap enough and performed the following functions.
IR & bluetooth universal remote
Remote desktop wirelessly to my computer
smartstylus to use as a drawing tablet
completely opensource
runs more than 4 hours on full power consumption
is less than a pound
has some form of eink functionality for extremely low power mode, reading email etc...
costs around $150
does NOT need
fast CPU (cause I have a laptop)
a really high res screen (cause I have a laptop)
All I need to be able to do with it is read email and websites and remote control things (computer, tv, router, etc...) thats what I want a slate for. (drawing tablet functionality would be cool too, I really don't know why one isn't being marketed yet, the watcom ones are rediculously expensive and more quality than I need)
oh, and waterproof would be nice too... for reading in the bathtub :-P
