A recent blog entry by Michael Arrington has stirred up some discussion around the web. Basically, it's a plea that someone design and build a $200 open-source web tablet: minimal specs, Linux, booting right into Firefox, that you can just pick up and use to browse the web with.
The idea isn't precisely new; I proposed something similar in Web Worker Daily a few months ago (though, personally, I'm no fan of touchscreens). And you can already buy similar devices like the Nokia 800 internet tablet. But somehow Arrington's idea has sparked more interest that most attempts in this area. Why?
