Pacebook Tablet PC [Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters]

New machine reviewed here at AnandTech. While it is bigger than an OQO, it looks to be promising. 600 MHz Crusoe processor (plans for 1 Ghz), 256 ram, and a 20 gig hard drive. This would work as what I like to call a "Living room system", in that it can be used in the living room, and tucked away when you are done with it.

The graphics chip will need to be replaced, as it is, and I quote:

The chip in our system included 8MB of integrated video memory and also includes hardware rotation, allowing the system to change from landscape to portrait mode, as well as fairly good power management technology. Again, although the Lynx3DM8 supports 3D, it is certainly not happy running it as even the animated Windows XP screens ran a bit slow and jumpy. [link]

I look forwarf to playing around with the wide variety of tablet PCs that are coming once they are available.

World: Research on chicken toes raises hopes for replacing human fingers. 05:57 ET - Ananova [NewsBlip.com]

While this could be used to restore human fingers, I think your writing would become chicken scratch.

TRY THE VEAL!
