The RAM on a cell phone could be used. The RAM on a cloud network could be used. The RAM on a TV set could be used. Puppy will become the first virtual PC that moves at the speed of light.
The PC will not "die" for many people. The issue has to do with numbers of devices.2XL wrote:I respectfully disagree with the OP.
Personally, the PC will never die for me.
if an affordable x86 tablet with say a 8 - 10" screen is released then you could pretty much run normal puppy on it, maybe with whatever needs to be installed to use the touchscreen.ilanrab wrote:The PC will not "die" for many people.

All one has to do is extrapolate, using history. Supercomputers, Mainframes, Servers (used to be Minicomputers), Desktop, Laptops...
What's next? TABLETS.
The PC will remain at its level in the hierarchy, but the number of tablets will dwarf the number of PCs around. Real soon. You don't believe it? Just take a look at how many PCs there are around vs. the number of mainframes. That will give you a clue.
The sheer variety of tablet devices will also be impressive. X86, AMD, ARM, screen sizes, "transformers", pocket, etc...
As far as puppy goes... that depends on what the developers feel like doing.
Cheers!
Have a look at touchcal...it is in need of support/developmentif there is ever a virtual keyboard that uses some touchscreen aware ncurses or something so you can use it at the console not in a X session then this would be so awesome.
Thin and light computers will also be a big attraction, he said, alongside the tablet computers that were the talk of last year's show.
I am actualy old enough to have used an old 'portable' Mac SE30 with it's built-in 9 inch b/w screen as my personal machine - I still have the carrying bag, while my IIsi business machine had a huge 12" monitor with 8-bit color. Those were the times, no need to go back there!sickgut wrote:if an affordable x86 tablet with say a 8 - 10" screen is released then you could pretty much run normal puppy on it, maybe with whatever needs to be installed to use the touchscreen.
I agree, but if your only computer is a tablet, you don't have a normal mouse, keyboard and monitor, do you?If x86 tablets where produced, even with a 7" screen BUT it also has a monitor port (alot of tablets have hdmi) and USB, then you dont have to worry about the small screen if you plug into a monitor, and you can use your normal mouse and keyboard with it.
That issue has to do with the Wintel monopoly.sickgut wrote:if an affordable x86 tablet with say a 8 - 10" screen is released then you could pretty much run normal puppy on it, maybe with whatever needs to be installed to use the touchscreen.ilanrab wrote:The PC will not "die" for many people.

Don't give up on PC's and Puppy yet. Not every one is Cloud compatible, or even wants to be, for that matter.
