PaperTabs - The new pcs?
They seem light, but when they will be like portable pcs and you can store them in your pocket, you might lose them and not even know it, because when they'd fall, they'd make almost no sound.
I've also heard that they don't get damaged by water. I can totally see people diving and showing what they see (a reef or something) if they will be completely watertight.
I can see them useful in places where you don't normally carry a laptop, and they can be placed almost anywhere. But they'd be easy to lose. Harder to break, but easy to tear I guess, or you can destroy one with scissors.
Will you buy one of these some time in the near future? (assuming that they will be full-color, and with everything your usual PC/iPad comes with)
What do you think will be the pros and cons of them?

So you need to buy a new tablet for every app? That sucks.... every app is a tablet.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

They'll probably turn it into a single device within several years. And then make it portable. But I still don't like its aspect, in spite of some practical uses it might have.So you need to buy a new tablet for every app? That sucks.
I'd like something like that for drawing and then saving the drawing as a file, without the need of a bulky system though.

Like what? Smartphone-like tattoos? Oh wait... too far into the future...Not even going to be bought. Waste of resources... The tech will be transferred off to something else.
EDIT: Scratch that, it's been done already.
