That is the question the new GeCube hybrid device would be asking (if it had a father). The GC-GENIE-JR aka the Genie PC, is a Linux tablet computer, but at night when no one is watching, detaches its screen and becomes a digital photo frame.
While the little device doesn’t have a touch screen, it does mount the mouse on the back of the screen, which will give you the ability to do the basics without the keyboard. It will also feature an unknown 300MHz Intel processor (didn’t know they had plans to make one either), 256M of ram with 2G of storage.
It also comes with rubberised keyboard (water proof maybe) and will of course come with a wireless standard built in. While it isn’t going to replace your desktop, for a measly $US229, it is almost disposable.
GeCube also have plans to take over the EeePC market, with a 10.2-inch ultra portable notebook, running a VIA C7, 512mb of ram and the option to run Linux or Windows. That little guy should start around the $US279 mark, and my guess would be, to grow from that point with memory and storage upgrades.
All-in-all the options from GeCube will be very interesting. Whether they come to fruition is another question.
