[QUOTE="MadScience2006, post: 210440, member: 1356"] Yes...that's one advantage to their devices. But at what point (and at what cost to the user) do these things start to get *too* thin and start to affect usability? As thin as a piece of window glass (which is what we are slowly approaching)? As thin as a credit card? As thin as a piece of paper? How do you pick it up from a flat surface when it's as thin as window glass? There's no room for beveled/rounded edges to reach under...will they come with a suction cup lifting device or do you slide it to the edge of the table/surface that it's on to get under it to lift it? When we start approaching that kind of thinness, there will really be no structurable stability nor rigidity...maybe we can fold it and put it in our pockets like a paper map instead. Sure, alot of what I said is just speculation along with some nonsense...but really though, there has to be a limit to how thin these things can be and still actually be usable. ;) [/QUOTE]
