Ok, but that webpad genuinely seems way ahead of it’s time. I want a webpad, and I’m 1000000% sure it’s software is so out of date it would be like running windows 3.1 today.
Nokia were doing insanely awesome things with their hardware, beyond basically building phones which were impervious to standard human idiocy (hi, I am an average human idiot).
True, especially with the xPressMusic ones. They felt as though they had slightly thinner plastic. Had one of the very thin ones, a friend of mine squeezed it between the door and its frame enough to turn it into a flip phone.
On the other hand, had a 6303i I threw at a wall to see what would happen and what happenes was an uncomfortable gash left in one of our clasroom’s walls. Phone was chillin’.
I’d want a “tablet” looking like an A4 rollable metal sheet with a screen on one side (projected at that, so no calamity at that sheet will break it), a fat part on the side with the actual hardware and a few hercon buttons (so that they’d live longer too), a battery that lasts a month and that hardware shouldn’t be too powerful. Very limited in fact - like Star Wars datapads are. I, ahem, only think about this because I want a Star Wars datapad.

Still though. How awesome does the webpad look?

Screens were still breakable by idiots.
EDIT: I had one such phone, liked it. An idiot at school broke that screen. It was a girl, so can’t even be too angry.

Too small.
