All hail internet porn and indoor plumbing!
I've been following the laptop/netbook/tablet pc trend off and on for a few years now. I even bought one of those netbooks - they've definitely got a niche to fill. I'd rather have an ultralight laptop similar to the mac airbook(?) as my portable go-to machine. Larger keyboard and screen with low weight and long battery life.
Tablet pc's have been done before and didn't really catch on - the next wave of them may tell a different story, but in my opinion, touch screen computing should be reserved for cell phones, retail POS terminals and kiosks. I'm a CLI guy so I can't see doing anything meaningful with finger gestures or screen taps.
I've been noodling over an iPhone/Palm Pre app for the past few days and the best idea I can come up with that I'd find useful would be a customized rss feed of your favorite forums and a combined events calendar. I can't imagine trying to post anything useful on TON using a cell phone - most of the cell phone posts I see are of the "I'm here, fire's warm, beer's cold, trails are in great shape" variety.
I'd be more interested in spending time on a project similar to trailsource.com but for Texas and possibly surrounding states. That's a whole other ball of wax and probably one both of ya'll have heard me talk about before.
