Comments on: Laptops, Netbooks, e-Readers, and now Dualbooks… http://armiesofchaos.com/archives/196 “What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.” Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:35:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: ssgconway http://armiesofchaos.com/archives/196/comment-page-1#comment-554 ssgconway Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:35:19 +0000 http://armiesofchaos.com/?p=196#comment-554 Back to the future in some ways for these tablets, as they attempt to replicate what the Newton could do, in many cases, 12 years ago: E-book reader/calendar/e-mail/web browser/notepad w/handwriting recognition/language translation app/etc. (Since being discontinued, the Newton tribe has taken over software development/hardware hacks, and it can now be used as a phone, too.) These new products demonstrate the continuing interest in a hand-held computer (as opposed to a smartphone) that can handle most basic tasks. I hope that these efforts are successful, and that the price puts them within reach of the average would-be user, both here and in the rest of the world. -ssgconway Back to the future in some ways for these tablets, as they attempt to replicate what the Newton could do, in many cases, 12 years ago: E-book reader/calendar/e-mail/web browser/notepad w/handwriting recognition/language translation app/etc. (Since being discontinued, the Newton tribe has taken over software development/hardware hacks, and it can now be used as a phone, too.)
