But just imagine if they gave it a clamshell design with a real keyboard. It wouldn't even need the touchscreen, then. Now *that* would be both exciting and original!Edited 2009-07-06 20:03 UTC Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:56:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (sbergman27) Comments I wonder which event(s)? http://osnews.com/thread?371934 http://osnews.com/thread?371934 Just thinking out loud: in the SF Bay Area, later this month will be OSCON 2009 (in San Jose), and then early next month will be OpenSource World 2009 (at the Moscone Center)...

Because touch screens are the "in thing" at the moment, regardless of whether they'd be the best tool for the job. They have their place, but in this case I'd agree with you--on something that large, where there is room for a keyboard, there should most definitely be one.

For most of us (and with 'us' I mean professional users), we don't need color that much and the ability to use it in sunlight plus the extra battery are great.

Crossing my fingers for it be around $250. Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:32:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (motang) Comments
