Is Michael Arrington Tyring to Be a Modern-Day Moses?
After the August Capital TechCrunch Party, I hung out with Michael Arlington and some friends that weekend. We talked a lot about their bold new initiative to create an ulta thin, ultra large, ultra cool touch screen tablet that can be used for general internet browsing purposes.
I questioned Mike on a couple of his assumptions about the product, but overall it seems pretty freggin cool, and if they can make it for the price point they’re talking about, I’d surely buy a few.
It may have been the lack of sleep, but I got this image in my head of Mike as Moses coming down from Mount Sinai with Tablets in hand to deliver his godly message to the masses. The analogy become even funnier to me when I remembered the wrath Moses unleashed on the people when he saw them worshiping a pagan idol.
I had to see what my crazy thought would look like, much props to Juan Aguilar who put together the PhotoShop.

I think it’s kind of a cool idea, kind of. I’m not sure what’s the purpose of the device, seems more gimmicky than truly useful.

I dig the headline, the photo ain’t too shabby either… agree not sure what the point is though.

I think that it could work, and I believe that I have seen something on the market already…. Google Apps can technically be substituted for alot of the apps available via MS Windows. I am just wondering about the keypad, emf radiation, power requirements, and the price points of course. I think that a mobile bluetooth keyboard with integrated mouse, and small storage integrated as well, makes more sense than an LCD with pcu stored inside. Eventually, I foresee people using local projection systems with switches as opposed to mobile lcd screens. I’m still waiting to see if the Amazon ebook campaign will penetrate the market like it was supposed to…..
