Fun Stuff > CLIKC

Readin' from CES, I SO want one of these...

It's a new piece of technology; generally we try to keep any technology-related discussion in this forum.  There's a kindle thread buried in here somewhere, even though it's primarily used for reading.  The only exception to that is video games, which is more or less what that thing seems to be for.

Everything about computers goes into CLIKC. This is a computer. And what a computer it is! I was recently thinking about the possibilities of a full-fledged operating system on handheld devices, you know, a smartphone or a tablet on which you aren't bound to whatever app store the developers want to pull money out of. And this is the answer. I could never have imagined a keyboard that switches its looks and function on the go! Depending on its weight and form, you might even be able to play games with your thumbs, like on a Nintendo. If the keyboard could be flipped all the way to the back of the screen, it would basically function like a tablet, and then it pretty much has all the bases covered.

I'd seriously consider spending an amount of money that buys me a desktop computer on this.

The main features of the device are aimed at gaming - hence here.

Here's Razerzone's page on this: http://cult.razerzone.com/2011/01/06/razer-switchblade%E2%84%A2-a-revolution-in-pc-gaming/ which I was coming over here to post before I saw this thread.  I think that Razer have really hit the right note for this by creating what is in effect a specialised MID that is trageted to a certain enthusiast market and has enough to differentiate itself from everything else in the same space.  The customisable keyboard alone has enough wow factor, due to the hype surrounding the Optimus keyboards a while back.  I didn't even realise it had a touch-screen until I read the CES article as I really only skimmed the Razerzone page, but that's fantastic.

Unfortunately it's a concept device, not a finished product.  They are currently working with "selected partners" to design actual products based on the idea.

So this could end up as ill-fated as the Pippin then?  :-(
