I've always liked the idea of data tablets (a la Startrek), but you're not the first one in the Amiga realm to think of this.  I remember seeing official amiga concept art in an old Amiga Format, which depicted a tablet Amiga.  I think that was with Gateway and Jim Collas, might've been earlier.  Of course, little came of that.

Amiga is heading in an excelent direction for this.  Motorola is moving away from desktop processors to embedded, and the PowerPC architecture is becoming more scalable in that respect.  Lower G2 or G1 chips are perfect for tablet computing.  And we've an O/S that can run FAST on these chips.  There is potential.

I would love to see Amiga Tablets, but time will tell.
