Wish I had a bigger screen. Kinda of a cool idea, I dont think I would buy one for 350 bucks though. Id take one as a gift though :D

Yup. A nice 10" touchscreen 1.4" thick internet/email appliance that also acts as a remote for your computer and AV kit, with a modded OS X interface running on a dualcore Intel chip. With a port to sync that Moto ROKR iTunes phone. Announced at WWDC for a paltry $299. Go Apple!! :rolleyes: :D ;)

Wow. That's quite a wish list... you took the entire MR front page and turned it into a single rumor... with a $300 price tag.

I'd pay upwards of $2k for the tablet I'm wanting... something with some power to it.

EDIT:

Did you say 1.4"? Why so thick? I'm looking for a 12" powerbook (with enhanced resolution) without a keyboard... if it's more than .5" I'll be dissapointed.

The whole thing is based on Debian Linux v2.6 and the Gnome UI That's pretty cool. Linux and Gnome on a handheld device. The Linux community must be extatic. I wouldn't buy one though :rolleyes:
