We have now seen an early build of meego for tablets and meego for mobile devices. I think the general concensus is that the tablet interface seems far far more exciting. To me Maemo 5 seems even far more exciting than what we have seen of meego so far (although presumably it will not suffer from the tons of bugs that plagued maemo 5).
Is there any possibility of someone releasing an internet tablet which doubles up as a phone and runs meego for tablets? Maybe a five inch screen device like the Dell Streak. I think I would snatch up such a device in a second. Or a 4 inch screen maybe.
I use my N900 alot for internet and as a media player and won't mind having to use a massive phone if it means a far more impressive internet experience and media player and most of all to have the amazing meego tablet interface.
In any event the Dell Streak seems just as comfortable to use as the brick like N900 which I have found to big to use with one hand (so have disabled autorotate and portrait option in all my apps which allow this). Of course the Dell Streak has no hardware keyboard but on such a huge screen it is less of a problem.
So is this a possibility or is there going to be a bar on manufacturers using the tablet interface on devices that double up as mobile phones?
If there is no such bar imposed is this going to be practically impossible? By this I mean will the processor, etc required to run the tablet version mean that the size of battery required to give it any sensible number of hours of use would be so big it could never fit into anything that functions as a mobile phone?
