Fujitsu is about to release a new "purse-sized" tablet PC with an 8.9" SVGA screen. Occurs to me that it could be a fantastic remote control device with the addition of an IR radiator like the iPronto NETX and a bit of software.
The intial price for the smallest configuration is going to be around $1300. It will of course have wi-fi and all the usual laptop goodies built-in. It is powerful enough to run a full version of XP Pro. Weighs in at 1 kilo, but if the screen is detachable as it is in many tablet PCs, it should be comfortable enough for the average couch potato.
In a year or so, the street price should be well below $1000.
Does anyone know of any plans to enter the programmable remote business based on this sort of platform?
