“We Want A Dead Simple Web Tablet For $200. Help Us Build It. http://tinyurl.com/6puzha”

It's called the iPod Touch :-) Well, maybe not exactly, but a bigger Touch would totally do it for me. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

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 (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

best 2008 idea ;) http://tinyurl.com/6puzha - Netviber

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

If this really cool use of leveraging the tech audience works, can you then move on to solutions for alternative energies?! - Bryan Landers

Please don't compare this to Nokia tablet. That's very different thing to TC proposal. - Peter

would be interesting to see if techcrunch audience can pull this off - wisdom of crowds .. - Raza via Alert Thingy

Use http://bit.ly/1hvHvm with http://www.gnewsense.org/, adhere to the same ethics throughout the design and I'm sold. - David J. Pettifor

No, i'm busy - James Tenniswood

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

is it just me or is TechCrunch down? - Geoffrey Hamilton via twhirl

I think you are ALL idiots for constantly pulluting my lifestream with a topic that is stale. - Peter Dawson

Scobleizer Yesterday Shel Israel is no longer part of http://www.fastcompany.tv. That is correct. The changes we made to http://www.fastcompany.tv/work... were made due to community feedback, in particular due to Dennis Howlett and Allen Stern's criticism of that show. We made several changes in reaction to their feedback. As to the guy who says "fastcompany.tv sucks" that's great, but why not be constructive? I'm very interested in constructive feedback and am working to make our shows the best available. Today we have several exclusives, including lots of interviews with members of congress. If that's "sucking" well, then, I want more "sucking." This is content no other tech video blogger is bringing to you. - loren feldman

@Peter: Considering the same old same old type shit you have in your friendfeed stream, I find it funny you'd think anyone was polluting YOUR lifestream. - Vincent Ferrari

Here's a bit of constructive criticism. Ditch the cue cards and just talk to the person without making the whole thing look and sound like a bad version of Charlie Rose. Those videos aren't "naked conversations." They're softball questions and fanboy-ism. A PR person's dream but a waste of time for the viewer. - Rob Safuto

Odds are slim that you are in the same group as the 6 people you found... - Keith Dishman

youre welcome pep - loren feldman

You found six? You're doing better than me. - Vincent Ferrari

What the fuck is social media anyway? It's a bullshit term. - Leo Laporte

+1 for Leo's comment. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

It definitely seems to bring out the worst sort of marketing types. Can't wait for this bubble to pop ;) - Devindra Hardawar

Really, Leo? I would say that "social media" is a term to describe the media that is not a "traditional media" (TV, Radio, and Newspapers) source - I now follow "news" through social sharing of news (and other interesting items). I'm on FriendFeed or Twitter getting my news now - never a traditional media source. - Vince DeGeorge

OK Loren, who are the 6 lucky folks you like (i take it there's NO puppets involved!) :*) - Susan Beebe

Leo - social media...you're soaking in it. - Hutch Carpenter

I guess it depends on your definition of idiot, and why you think everyone except these six are indeed idiots. - Ian May

Define "complete fucking idiot" - Adam C.

Leo FTW. No More Fucking Buzzwords. - Andrew Feinberg

Leo, I use Social Media with irony. Also the 6 maybe it's 20. People whom I've found to be interesting in some way. Smart, entertaining whatever. BTW Leo you never struck me as the cursing type. - loren feldman

I'm an idiot. - Aaron Brazell

who is this Feldman dude? I'm subscribing because of this comment - Nathan Rein

Ah, but the big question is...is this what you find in Social Media, or is this what you bring with you? I've found lots of nice people....and a few jerks, but I spend my time with the nice ones. - Douglas E. Welch via twhirl

I would suggest that one finds a typical cross-section of the world at large using Social Media - Ian May

That is a miracle as I did not think there were not complete idiots. but that is usually how it goes the ones that call themselves something via title are never the ones that have a clue. - Fred Grott

I felt exactly the same way about high school. Hum...... - leigh himel

My life experience leads me to estimate 86% of all people are stupid; as defined as people who have a brain but don't use it. - Robert Hafer

Nice read. Some very interesting points on rapid development with limited budget, time, and resources. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

The problem with building a web app in 4 days is that you are 4 days away from your nearest competitor:) - John Kotsaftis via feedalizr

@John Kotsaftis: +1 - Don MacAskill

I hate to be cynical, but their ratio of two developers to six bloggers/copywriters/PR peeps sounds about right. When your product is a commodity, marketing makes all the difference. - Jake

Excellent points John and Jake! - Kambiz Kamrani

Really, even with the Redesign...I have no intent of going back...this undeserved hatred of MySpace where does it come from....oh that's right teenie-boppers - Snay Trivedi

Second step: get rid of most of the current users. - Francine Hardaway via twhirl

I really don't understand - I know very few people using Myspace even on a weekly basis. Is it because I attended a private university? - Zach Landes via twhirl

I have a myspace account only because it is the network of choice atm for musicians and to keep up on them - Michael W. May via twhirl

@Zachary - like Francine said, there are a TON of people on Myspace, but nobody *I* would want to be friends with - Pat Hawks

I HAVE A MYSPACE PAGE! http://myspace.com/lockergnome - CAN YOU PLEASE ADD ME AS YOUR FRIEND? - l0ckergn0me

Second Step should be require all pages to not look like terrible mid 90s sites full on animated gifs and backgrounds that make text unbearable to read. Thats why I stick the hell away from myspace - BCK

I'm not sure you can ever improve on rubbish - McFrugal

maybe they should just push the reset button and start over again.... - Dieter Schwarz

And what about those Automatic-Playing-Song thing, can we ban this too, please ... - Chris Prakoso via twhirl
