Once again, Popular Science is years behind the tech curve.

Do we really need all-caps in the thread title?

That's hilarious! But I think a better title for the article would be:
"How to turn a tablet PC into . . . a tablet PC" |

Good Lord, even I recognize how lame this is, and that's saying something.

This ridiculous idea reminds me of the old German saying, blessed are those with simple minds. The author really has no clue what is needed for a screen for heavy reading. A journalist should do some homework before publishing. Next he will write an article on how to replace the Kindle with a phone?

This, along with their biases and political views, is why I don't subscribe to popular science.

This reminds me of a Viz top tip, which you'll probably only get if you are from the UK or happen to like rude uk comics.
Next up, why by an ipod touch when you can simply glue an old PDA to a walkman. |
