The closest thing I can think of is a kindle with linux on it. You have a great product idea. Sort of like a netbook with an e-ink display.


Sure, but the kindle has the same problem: horrible keyboard.


Agreed. This is certainly a niche that needs to be filled.


It's been mentioned before, but I don't know that it has enough of a market to be commercially viable.

Here's a tweet I wrote a few weeks ago about it:

System76 could offer a Pixel Qi netbook. I would pay a premium for that.
