I think this could be a revolutionary computer. No longer tied to a power supply or modem cables, I can imagining sitting back in my easy chair with one of these, reading FR while watching Special Report with Brit Hume : )

Some company is using slick designs to sell computers, others are using revolutionary concepts.

I talk to all my computers. This is a public forum, so I can't go into what I say to them, but suffice it to say, it's a Network Admin "thang".

Newton owners are some of the bitterest computers owners ever. We had all that tablet crap years ago. I know someone who surfed the web via a wireless modem with a Newton!

MacIntosh will have to come out with their own version, no doubt. I can see it now - the iBigChief.No time for that. Apple currently has more important projects in the works.

Once there is a mass-produced and affordable tablet-sized PC that can run all day on a battery and communicate with the Internet wirelessly at broadband speeds, the world will change forever. I think this is just five years down the road.

It's a prototype that Apple has been playing with. There's a site full of "official" Apple prototypes, as well as some fan-created prototypes as well:

I love the stuff there.
