[The_Big_K]

Michael Arrington & team came up with a great product idea, a cheap tablet PC for under $200 that will allow you to surf the web using FireFox & interact with your friends using Skype (all on Linux platform).

What do you guys say?

Interesting.. yes, I'd certainly be interested in this. Ever since ASUS came out with the EeePC, there has been a movement towards smaller and cheaper mobile platforms. Even Acer has joined the race with their Aspire One. Currently, a potential cheap tablet (with keyboard) would be the one from Gigabyte: Mobile Computer - Gigabyte's tablet UMPC on pre-order for under £400

I'd sure love to see more detailed hardware specs though. Software is easy to pull off.. hardware isnt!
