$99 Moby Tablet As Textbook Alternative

Posted by kdawson on Friday March 19, 2010 @05:19AM from the down-with-rolling-backpacks dept.

Taco Cowboy writes "Marvell's Moby tablet will be an always-on, high performance multimedia tablet capable of full Flash support and 1080p HD playback and supporting WiFi, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPS and both Android and Windows Mobile platforms for maximum flexibility. It could eliminate the need for students to buy and carry bound textbooks and an array of other tools. The tablet is expected to hold a full year's worth of books but weigh less than half of one typical textbook." The tablet is a bit vaporous at this point, but if the final device comes anywhere near these specs and price point, it could be attractive.

I'm not a regular commenter, but kdawson's posts are RIDICULOUS. Does slashdot have a way of modding an editor down? I'm not familiar with the modding system or the slashdot eco system, and I'm not trying to troll, but a few others share the same view about kdawson - if it turns out that we're a majority, will kdawson be stripped of the permission to post articles?
