I had an idea that might be usefull for some people who use computercraft, basicly its a tablet. It would be like a computer but you could carry it with you, when you shit+right click you can open the HUD and use it like a normal computer/turtle.

Some stuff I think what it should (not) have:
+Different os.pullEvent's like: right-clicking, dropping it, and just the normal events
+Touchscreen would only work when you open the HUD and when its an advanced tablet
+Always connected to rednet (Or only if there is a computer connected to rednet nearby, it would act like wifi)
-No special programs/code like turtle.dig() or the worm program.

Some usefull aplications:
If you use it with GPS you could let a turtle come to you whenever you right click it.
You could do the same as above but with keyboard input and make it bring stuff.
You could start programs on computers far out of your reach.

Recipe:
XYX
ZCZ
XXX

X=Stone
Y=Wireless Moden
Z=Redstone
C=Computer

For an advanced Tablet the computer should be an advanced computer and the stone should be gold.

I'dd like to know what everyone thinks about this idea and some other suggestions to add/remove would be awesome too :D/>

EDIT:
Just saw this was in the things not to suggest, I should do some more research next time before I post something
