I'm unfamiliar with some of the technologies employed here
but will it play Crysis?
We at Vulture Central were a mite surprised to learn recently of the TechCrunch "CrunchPad", which has got the technosphere into a bit of a tizz with its promise of couch computing delivered via an 18mm aluminium chassis, Linux and "Webkit based browser". Actually, surprised isn't the half of it, because Vulture Central's …
Everyone knows the reason the Eee was so successful was that the Reg only ever featured the netbook with it's beach-loving best friend.
If you want to dominate the World, the RegPad will also need its own nubile handler. Have you seen if Paris is available for photos and fondling?
Owing to the pliable nature of the device will there be the usual 5TB fag-packet sized drive in weapons-grade titanium?
Slapping a cow-orker in the pub with a floppy computer is O.K. but there are occasions where a matching blunt instrument would be more appropriate.
(Also easier to hold for Ms Campbell)
This is an excellent idea, and I heartily congratulate you! I would like to place orders for 5.
However I am shocked that this unit has a coffee button. I need tea dammit! Coffee is only a necessity when you've run out of caffeine pills or have a nice cigar to hand.
Also I've noticed that we've got a beer icon, but where's the tea?
Now that is what I would call ... Shockingly Awesome Spaceware. And if it doesn't take off like a Korean rocket, and Capture and make Captive All Native Markets, well, I'm a dDutchman.
And is Mandy f**king %*#! and Meez Campbell's bitch? ...... a hot question for all the lightweight readers and sniffers and fluffers and lurkers.
Nice One, El Reg, ........ Straight out of the Blue Cloud with Zero Recognisable Radar Signature .... Super Sub Atomic Stealth by Anyone's Definition.
The RegPad .... AIReal Manpad.
...I'm having terrible trouble believing all this, Its some kind of a joke, right? I mean how can you expect anybody to believe this!? Utterly up-in-the-air. Total Whacko Jacko (RIP).
You see I'd expect the biscuits to come included for that flippin price!

Aaaahh you see what I did there!? ;-)
Time for Beer.
One parochial: if you're going to break into the US market you need to replace the "bacon sarnie" function with something more American. Over Here, British cooking is known only to be loathed, and sarnies have not got even that far.
One functional: surely El Reg can get a DARPA grant to implement the biomass-fueled technology and so
a. break free of battery dependence. On long flights one could then actually have a use for airline food. Or, if airline food really isn't biomass (not clear), perhaps sensitive bits from the guy in front who jacks his seat back into your knees.
b. It could serve also as a desk-scavenger, cleaning up the crumbs and such that accumulate around many a tech's working area.
