TechCrunch wants to create an Open Source Tablet->

RKo618 writes "Techcrunch announced that they are planning to build their own web tablet hardware device. From TechCrunch:

The idea is to turn it on, bypass any desktop interface, and go directly to Firefox running in a modified Kiosk mode that effectively turns the browser into the operating system for the device. Add Gears for offline syncing of Google docs, email, etc., and Skype for communication and you have a machine that will be almost as useful as a desktop but cheaper and more portable than any laptop or tablet PC.

The aim is for the tablet to run on modified open source software, which will be released back to the community along with the specifications for the hardware."
