A tablet style interface has got quite a few advantages over elements of the traditional desktop and laptop forms, however battery life, the processors they choose and weight are still significant down sides.
I therefore propose (only because I can't find one anywhere) a terminal tablet, which
just lets you VNC/RDP onto a host, whose processing power you can use.
Ideally this would just run wifi, wimax or similar.

If by "dumb terminal", you mean something like a VT220 or similar, I'm curious about how functional it would be without a keyboard. |

I was really thinking of something whose local operating system was only there to handle input and a VNC connection to something with real power. Like the Wyse terminals, but tablety.
In my experience as soon as you put Windows on the client you start to run into the problems I outlined above. |

Oh. I thought this would be about cyanide pills. |

[ixnaum], mmm, that looks nice. I thought SmartDisplay was a pretty nice concept it's a shame it wasn't more widely adopted. Does rather pin you down to a windows XP. |
