I love this concept of “digital paper” in the form of a low-cost tablet ($99)! Check out the concept behind NoteSlate:
The NoteSlate is trying to define the product itself, archetype, electronic paper. We are trying to define this archetype for general public, bit against their today’s usual network expectations. It’s active, creative, you cannot browse the web, networks, read, watch, play… the Internet, social networks, connecting everywhere are just beginning, part of the contemporary future.
Although with NoteSlate, you will have always something, what you can be in. We don’t want to be overwhelmed with technology. The biggest simplicity is enough to express the basics, to explain the idea.
Today all the devices are for us technologies, screens, gates, glossy shining objects… we think you will be covered with that anyway. And fortunately you will have the NoteSlate.
Maybe we would welcome something straight, less network connected, rural, almost natural, looking as a paper, physical, although very very useful. NoteSlate can be your own diary, notepad, writing memoir, for ideas, blurbs, hints, .. drafts,… your own world, you can believe on and you can create in.
And you will love the wooden feeling of writing or drawing.

This looks like something I would really use, and the price is definitely right! I’ll be curious to follow the progress.
