Cheapo Tablet

Yes, there are so many cheap tablets in the world, but that doesn't matter. This tablet can sell for the price of a screen, a wifi or 3g card and a battery that doesn't even have to be good. Everyday, we connect to the cloud for almost everything we do. Many of us even store our data on the cloud. So why can't we use this cloud as a computer itself. The mulitbillion dollar companies like Amazon use servers for anything and newer companies like Onlive are basically full operating systems hosted on remote servers allow a user with a slow computer to run powerful applications and interact with them, like they are installed on their computer. A tablet that can harness all these powers and instead of having it's own chip can remotely connect to a server with a powerful chip and run their favorite apps remotely. Yes, this idea will not work when there is no 3g or wifi, but now that isn't much of a problem anymore. How many times do people go outside a 3g or wifi hotspot? Everywhere in the United States there is some available access to the internet, so why not harness this power to make slow, underpowered tablets seem as powerful and fast as a 1000 dollar gaming laptop.
