Marvell claims to have a $99 10" Android tablet in the pipeline with enough power to do 1080p, flash, 3d graphics, etc:

This would make a pretty unbeatable Skritter tablet!

Yeah, but since Skritter is a flash app, I don't see much point developing a separate app for Android. Both Adobe and Google claim that flash gonna work soon, so we just need to wait a bit.

Sounds good! That means all resources can be focused on that iPhone app :-).

You could write a letter to Steve Jobs and kindly request that he provide support for Flash in his products :-D

If it is written in C/C++ then it could be made to run on iPhone, Android, and nokias, independent of which web browser is running, and much faster than a flash application. Heck you could even then make it into a desktop app which would be blazing fast on an old recycled tablet PC.

Oh, and also old palm and windows smart phones.

It looks great but this slate PC and others have some issues to look out for.

The big thing is most won't work with a regular stylus. Also unlike the Wacom tablet, resting your hand on it while you write, can cause unintended finger gestures to be recognized. Many are also said to have short battery lives.

Now some thing to be happy about.
You can order a special capacitive stylus and put a peace of cloth under your hand so your palm isn't detected. You can always plug them in if you need to use it longer than the battery lasts.

I think most of these new systems will have browsers with Flash on them so no porting will be needed. Although for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad porting will be necessary.

I am currently thinking about buying an Fujitsu Stylistic Tablet PC, with Windows XP/Vista/7/whatever, so of course this supports flash.
it´s about 350€ (~ 480$ i think).

@xkfowboa
i think it´s written in actionscript, but flash cs5 will have a packenger, that is able to create native iPhone apps:http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/appsfor_iphone/
but noboby knows when cs5 will be published.

Yes but my point was that if it is done in C (or maybe C++) then you have good chances of being able to port it to any mobile phone platform flash or no flash, and it will run faster.

It would also have the side effect bonus of being able to run really fast on older hardware.

(Not that I am sure there would be a good ROI on a C/C++ version, just that C/C++ would make it the most portable)

Hehe. I've let George and Scott know not to expect me to emerge from my Emacs for two years as I rewrite Skritter in C and port it to Nintendo 64.

I think I want to let hardware catch up to our software rather than chase still-evolving platforms. Go Flash!

@xkfowboa what are you smoking? I want some.

@nick
this sounds like there aren't any attemps to bring skritter to the iphone, right?

Our hopes are yet pinned on the iPhone Packager in Flash CS5. So nothing immediate.
