Also just read that HP released a touch screen PC (desktop) called the TouchSmart PC with wireless keyboard & mouse. Runs for $1600 I think. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
That one's simple, ask Nokia to drop the price on the N800 to $200. Problem solved. - Phil Glockner

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™
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

the generating of barcodes is easy. now can please app devellopers start WORKING with those things? where is my shopping application which takes more than one qr code at a time? where my address book app which scans the qr code into my mobile phone? [endless list] - Nicole Simon
"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
