(This is the 43rd of many promised articles which explain an idea in isolation. It is hoped that ideas may be adapted, linked together and implemented.)

What's wrong with a laptop, you ponces? If you must have a tablet, I suggest a variant of the OLPC dual-screen touch-screen clamshell design but using e-ink on both screens. It could be used like a book or a clamshell laptop but it would be completely incapable of playing video. For that functionality, you are referred to the ideal laptop. However, tablet battery should exceed two weeks on stand-by and eight hours of heavy, continuous use. Tablet does not have any radio interfaces but can tether to ideal phone over USB.
