TechCrunch just released plans to develop a tablet PC for web surfing
First of all – I like the name: Firefox Tablet. I hope Mozilla approves the use of it. It they don’t – please don’t call it Icecat Tablet.
My first idea was to add 3G connectivity to it. A little SIM card reader under the battery can’t be too expensive.
My second idea is to not only select a small screen and a slow CPU because of the price, but also because of it’s power consumption. About 10″ should be enough or what do you think? The resolution is more important than the screen size. Minimum 1024 pixels wide – please don’t give me that Asus Eee 800 pixels crap. It would be amazing if we could squeeze 6 hours use out of it.
My third and last idea is to have a “little arm” on the back. It’s important that it’s not in the way when holding it. But when you’re have a video conversation, it can be nice to put it down on the sofa table. And the great idea here is that when you recharge it, you put it in an upstanding position, plug the cord in and it turns into a digital picture frame – streaming pictures from you computer!
