Research DS Lite
Designed for people so obsessed with their research they feel compelled to take it everywhere they go--lunch, movie previews, the gym... | |
A Nintendo-sized computer designed specifically for research. Would come with C++, Visual Basic, Mathematica, Matlab, Excel, etc. Computer programs and other files could be inserted on special disks that would resemble video game cards.
Naturally someone would have to come up with a way to insert
a keyboard and half a dozen USB ports into the interface, but it could probably be done.

Isn't this what a PDA is? |
|
| |
Agreed, aside from the cartridge thing. But I don't know what particular advantage using cartridges for software offers a researcher. |

Well, it's not like you can stick Mathematica on a PDA. Or can you? |
|
| |
Agreed, this is exactly what a PDA is. I don't think this is a new invention, more an existing trend that you can take to extremes or not. |

But really, why bother going anywhere? |
