Re: Dell 7 and 10 inch tablets
 

Yes, I end up printing those. Just my job, plus TMO, are enough to make my eyes bleed from staring into the lamp of a backlit screen. I recently bought my wife subscriptions to Time and National Geographic from Amazon for peanuts, real paper magazines...

A 7'' screen at 10'' distance looks the same as a 14'' screen at 20''. Resolution is not a problem (look at N900).

Sure, printouts have their own pros and cons...
Translating paper workflows into computer systems have been the holy grail of computers industry for sometime now. There are reasons for that too.

As mentioned in previous post, resolution is not the issue. It's more of an ergonomic issue...

You'd probably have a problem if your time\natgeo subscriptions come in 40% smaller format, even if they come with loupes or an instruction manual of new and convenient ways of holding the magazines closer to your eyes :)

lol, I read that quick and thout you wrote "we need molecular devices"!

What I'm interested in is units that have a combined e-ink and LCD dsplay, switchable between the two. I love that idea and think it's the best solution for bona fide reading situations, regular notebook usage, and prolonged battery life. I'd get a 7 or a 10 inch of such a tablet.

I've said for some time, what we really need are glasses and gloves. If you virtualize I/O you can have a Theatrical experience on the trolley to work. {Please don't do this while driving :-) }

The only use of a "Box" would then be to "Plug in/connect" to other devices....
