A keyboard for this kind of device would be stupid. If that's what you're after, just get an Eee. And browsing the web without a touchscreen or some kind of pointing device would be a horrible experience.
They've got the concept nailed for the most part...now the challenging is building it for that price.
- ComputerGuru 18y agoHow do you propose that one types an email? Enters a web address? Go it iPhone style?! And why would you need a touchscreen to browse the web? The only things you would do on a website are enter the address, scroll, type into forms, and click a link. A touchscreen only addresses the very last of these, while a keyboard deals with all of them. A button on the side of the screen - or a vertical touchpad even - would easily solve the button problem.
- netcan 18y agoAgreed. This is not a laptop. It needs to be a distinct creature. If this takes off it can have some sort of keyboard down the track. But only after the users figure out what it's for. And the keyboard is probably not central to that.
