Revision history [back]

Jolla has some of the right ideas. I did not see specs on I/O but assume it will be provided USB and TF slots. But once you get the current model launched, make a larger one! --

1. Screen size equivalent to half of a A4 sheet of paper. Seven centuries of Book has our cultures wired for that format. Don't fight history. Besides It will be more comfortable on the eyes when watching videos or skype.
2. preferably 3+ usb slots, 2 usable tf slots, hdmi out.
3. Bluetooth support.
4. Then encourage an ecosystem around it -- a. Cellular LTE dongle for broadband access w a tap into the bluetooth audio earpiece. b. Alternately WiMax or similar for countries that support that format, dongle. c. Mass storage SSD for when small data volumes just won't do. d. IR dongle and apps to make use of it. (aka remote controls) e. RC dongle for flying your drone.

I will even suggest a name, Briefcase. I suggest that, because that would be just how I would use it. In that form factor it becomes the all encompassing communication/display/presentation device. It becomes a 2 device world at that point. The tablet for everything not computationally intensive. The desktop for those tasks that are. It simplifies everything.
