That one's simple, ask Nokia to drop the price on the N800 to $200. Problem solved. - Phil (scribkin)

You want a tablet for a different reason than I do. I want to draw, use Photoshop, video edit, etc. I want horsepower. - Andrew Smith

could even make a SDK like the iphone and make money that way to make it cheaper to buy (tappstore) - tablet app store - Chris Harris

If only Intel would come out with a tiny, low power chip for these. Call it "Atom" or something. And then maybe work with companies that have experience building and marketing devices like these. Call them Mobile Internet Devices or something. And then get an open source project for tools to make building software for these devices easier and better - call it http://moblin.org if you want. If only these magical things existed - I can't believe no one thought of this idea before! Thanks, Mike! ;-) - Josh Bancroft

Mike, I hope you can pull this off. Seriously. - Warner Crocker

Meh. I was just trying to navigate flickr on a friend's iPhone G3 at lunch. It's not a dead simple web tablet. :-P - Richard Klein

Very cool initiative. I'm still wondering why it still doesn't exist yet. - fbrunel

commented there - but curious - is it $200 retail, or $200 BOM? is this sold online, or does retail profit need to be counted? - Jeremy Toeman

As sexy & smart as iPhone may be, i find it really hard to type on it's touch keyboard, would love to see the Web Tablet come true. I'm willing to pay $300 :-) - Majento (Early Adopter :)

These cost $556 http://tinyurl.com/5qzpwx and the N810 web tablet is down to $300; $200 is very possible. Sounds like fun. :) - Royce Mathew

It's the right time for a thing like that. We are very web-centric today and are not turning back. Almost everything that a common man would use the computer for can be done on the web. And the proposed price is at the sweet spot. Go for it TechCrunch. - Vinay | विनय

At $200 you will sell a billion of these things. That is the perfect price for a great idea. - Gary Schmidt

ok, what exactly is a web tablet? - Lee Kent

little ambitious on the market opportunity there guys... i'd shoot for <10K units max on the first pass... probably closer to 5K, then go from there. - Jeremy Toeman

Micro Persuasion: Turn Gmail Into Your Personal Nerve Center

"However, in recent weeks I have started using Gmail as much more than an email host. With its gobs of storage, speed and tremendous search/tagging capabilities, you can transform it into a personal nerve center that's available from any computer or mobile device. When you tap into this power and combine Gmail with some other tools, it is perhaps the most essential site ever developed. Most of the following life hacks have not been documented. This series has several parts... * How to turn Gmail into a massive personal database (Gmail + the Google Toolbar) * How to get real-time news updates in Gmail (Gmail+ Google Talk + Twitter) * How to automatically store your bookmarks in Gmail (Gmail + del.icio.us + Yahoo Alerts) * How to manage Calendar and To-Dos in Gmail (Gmail + Backpack + GCal + GTalk + iMified) * How to blog from Gmail (Gmail + Wordpress/TypePad/Blogger + IMified)" - Leon Ho via Bookmarklet

Christians: No One Path to Salvation - Yahoo! News

June 23 at 1:48 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Kevin C. Tofel liked this

"Americans of every religious stripe are considerably more tolerant of the beliefs of others than most of us might have assumed, according to a new poll released Monday. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life last year surveyed 35,000 American, and found that 70% of respondents agreed with the statement "Many religions can lead to eternal life." Even more remarkable was the fact that 57% of Evangelical Christians were willing to accept that theirs might not be the only path to salvation, since most Christians historically have embraced the words of Jesus, in the Gospel of John, that "no one comes to the Father except through me."" - David Coyer via Bookmarklet
