Tablets. Tablets. And more tablets. Earlier in the week, we got to see a preview of the CrunchPad JooJoo tablet, and learn all about the unholy mess the makers of that device have made. Yesterday, we learned that you could hack a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 to create a dual-screen tablet to make it sort of look like the fabled and drool-worthy Microsoft Courier device. Today, Engadget reports that ASUS, the manufacturer who started all this netbook nonsense, is working on a tablet, and reminds us what such a device might be capable of, and follows that up with teaser that Dell might be entering this space too (albeit on the smaller side of things).
Now, it’s not like we don’t have access to tablets. But they’re too damn expensive for what we need, like the Sahara Slate running Windows 7 for $1,800 (base). No, 2010 is going to usher in low cost 7 to 9 inch touchscreen weblets, and then we can stop talking about eReaders.
Who knows, if Brian Lam gets his way, maybe Google will make one of these things and give them to us for free.
