Another Entry in the Portable Webcomic Reading Machine Stakes

Maybe — the NYTimes reports that Michael Arrington of TechCrunch is going to sell a basic web-surfing tablet supposedly for around $300.  Only 18 mm thick, but I’m not sure what the length and width are (more pictures here).  It’ll use a Linux based operating system and a Webkit based browser. The device boots directly into the browser.  Arrington says there’ll be another announcement about it this month.
