Web Tablet de TechCrunch

Simplicidad y eficacia.
El aparato que ven bajo estas líneas - técnicamente, un TabletPC - es un claro ejemplo de estos principios aplicados a la navegación por la Web.

Se trata de la propuesta de Michael Arrington, fundador del blog TechCrunch.
Ojo, no se trata de una entelequia. Quiere construirla. Y con un precio inferior a 200 $.He aquí la declaración de intenciones:

Here’s the basic idea: The machine is as thin as possible, runs low end hardware and has a single button for powering it on and off, headphone jacks, a built in camera for video, low end speakers, and a microphone. It will have Wifi, maybe one USB port, a built in battery, half a Gigabyte of RAM, a 4-Gigabyte solid state hard drive. Data input is primarily through an iPhone-like touch screen keyboard. It runs on linux and Firefox. It would be great to have it be built entirely on open source hardware, but including Skype for VOIP and video calls may be a nice touch, too.
If all you are doing is running Firefox and Skype, you don’t need a lot of hardware horsepower, which will keep the cost way down.

¿Minimalismo a la hora de navegar? Me gusta la idea.
