After a full work day in front of the computer, the last thing I want
to do when I get home is use the laptop. Bet you often feel the same.

In our intense digital world we need to be able to disconnect, at
least a little bit, at least sometimes and computers can be
used for fun and entertainment… but you associate them with
work.

So this is what I wish I had on my lap when sitting on the sofa
surfing the web or using instant messaging …. I wish not my hot laptop burning my legs, I wish not by blackberry with the small screen… I wish that the
promise of the tablet pcs had become true and I could use a big screen
with the same ease with which I use a notepad or read a magazine.

If it does not look like my work computer then it will not feel like work.

So dear Steve Jobs, this is what I want for Xmas: I want a notepad
sized iphone. Please disregard the other pundits asking for iphone
nanos, you can get to them later in the product roadmap. What I need is a cool
solution to my urgent desire.

Don’t need the phone bit, just give me a beautiful touchscreen with
good wifi connectivity and great multimedia capabilities. And while
you are at it, please add an integrated webcam for skype.

I can’t trust getting the user interface to anyone else so I am sure
you will do a great job…. and that using a computer at home will
become something more fun and casual.

As Jeff Bezos did when he was designing the kindle… I am looking for that magic invisible device.
