Future of mobile computing : Rolltop

Sorry, no. We're already so far beyond something that design that we'll never take that path.

Slates are the way forward.

You can have my mechanical keyboard when you pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.

It's cool as a design study, but that full-size-ish mechanical keyboards will remain popular as long as working with more than a paragraph of text at a time remains popular. A device like this could probably do fairly well around the $500 price point, but I think it would be very niche much higher than that.

What I would like to see is a better implementation of the basic concept behind the Touchbook - a tablet that becomes a clamshell notebook when attached to a removable keyboard/base. That base should certainly include an extra battery and might also add more processing power, storage and connectivity.

Very interesting idea, I think OLEDs are still very expensive but they have started to show up in consumer electronics in small sizes. This combined with 10GUI.com interface enhancements and it would be awesome.

I still wish there was a way to do more tactile keyboard. My wish is a gel keyboard win with you partly immerse your fingers and keys are configurable in software.

What happens when it rains?
