After the disapointing realeas of the Ipad i was wondering about the posibility to make a touch screen that you can dock your N900 to and get a Ipad killer. It shoud be preaty straigth forward and you would get a device matching the Ipad in most ways.

no need you have it all in one hand with the n900.. more memory plus a real processor.. i mean and its a phone.. rumor has it the ipad will have skype but good luck making a phone call with no wifi and having a montly bill for 3g is dumb if its not a phone.

you mean a large touch screen for the n900 that works like the iType
mmm?

The point is to get a larger screen for eboks and web browsing.

yip i could see something like the iType working, you use the n900 screen like the colour screen on the B&N nook and you use the iBig-ePaper screen to read your newspaper. the only thing stopping me from making it is the n900 doesn't have the same market penetration as the iPhone.

rather than carry around a larger device to dock my N900 in, I would just get a larger device. A $300 netbook or something because then I get a lot more power and flexibility than the N900.

I love the N900 and our apps are expanding rapidly but its still no full blown linux or windows OS that you can do almost anything with.

The advantage of a stand alone device goes further than just that.

Sure.
