Aw man... Are we _still_ doing this?
- Mac OS X is _not_ fitted for embedded devices, which means that the
batterylife of such a device, with a size of an iBook, would probably
be a couple of hours
- InkWell is _not_ a priority for Apple. Given the lack of Ink sessions
during the developer conference, and the lack of interest from the
people in general, I seriously doubt it could be used _as is_ in a
"handheld" or even "tablet" device.
- The Tablet PC is a flop. Really. Get over it.
- This design could very well be a small screen, or the must awaited
for iMac G5, or just something to prevent everyone else from doing a
similar device.
