Now rumours are spread in the web, and people discuss and argue how an Apple product just between the iPhone (or iPod touch) and the Macbook Air would or should look like.
What I don't want is a Netbook. A Netbook is about the same weight as the MacBook Air. It is slightly smaller but thicker. My Air fits perfectly well into any bag I would carry around, and I never thought It was to heavy or to large. Furthermore, a Netbook is one more device that relies heavily or solely on a keyboard. Sometimes I'd like to do some drawing and handwriting, though. The device should be smaller than the Air and larger than the iPhone, but have a multitouch screen and - when needed - a virtual keyboard. Such a device had been shown as the concept of the 2nd generation OLPC (one laptop per child) a while ago, and it is EXACTLY what I am dreaming of:
* Size like a book. Larger than iPhone, smaller then Air
* Folds like a book.
* Multitouch screens on both halfs
* Can be used in a notebook-like configuration with one half flat on the table, one half tilted like a normal notebook screen. Virtual keyboard for typing.
* Can be held like a book. Book pages on both halfs.
* Can be arranged flat on the desk and aks like a large tablet.
The design of the concept OLPC XO-2 is already perfect and quite Mac-like.
Pictures? Here we go:
