Inventor's Life

So with the most recent addition to my "cloud" services, I've decided it's time to talk a little about this. For those of you who are uninitiated into the world of "the cloud" I'll give a brief introduction. You see, this idea is nothing new really, email services can almost be considered a cloud service.

We could look at hardware considerations, make the platform MORE portable. I'd like to get a small screen for it, maybe see if it has bluetooth support? Anything really, Suggestions?
