Hello!  I have been wondering of the projects you can make from a raspbery pi. And I thought is it possible to make a tablet using a raspberry pi?

    The big challenge is the LCD. Everything either a custom 10" LCD for a tablet, or a 50" television.

    Hi Ben!!

     

    Love your work. And yes, i guess the big challenge would be the LCD, but now that specially made LCDs' for the RapPi exist, it ain't much of a challenge. Software for the on-screen keyboard can be found, after all, it is debian we're talking about.

     

    Talking of such projects... ever had the idea of making a wrist computer using the RaspPi? Something similar to the PipBoy 3000 in Fallout 3, it would make a heck of an episode for, TBHS, haha.

    The on screen keyboard software can be found in the Accessibilty area in aptitude software installation program. It runs under most windows managers (EI: KDE Gnome and others).
