If we're going retro, why not have a VHS tape pop out instead?

Actually, if you look at the picture closer, the tablet is sitting ON TOP of the CD, as the cd is just there for a size reference. And if that's a size reference, that's going to be one seriously huge tablet. In fact, it's twice the size of the n8xx series in width, and nearly 3x in length. Which means it falls into the UMPC tablet arena, as the n8xx series is only 2.5" wide, and 5" long.

Oddly enough though, despite it's size, I'd still buy it.

Assuming of course it runs Linux obviously.
