Hi, I am wondering how feasible it would be for a third party to create a battery for the new iMac which would turn it into a tablet.

wouldn't it be nice to be able to take it with you say to the couch and with airport you got wireless internet.

I'm with Skywalker.

Are you sure you REALLY want a 25-pound, 20-inch tablet?

Ya brilliant. You can also take the iMac with the stand removed and a keyboard and mouse and have it all plug into the back all comfortably in your arms making it so easy to use.

Quite possibly the worst idea anyone has ever had.
