Here’s a concept device for snooty french artists who wear berets and hold a palette in one hand, while grimacing and scoping out the landscape between forefinger and thumb. This nice looking Palette-Digital Artist is an entry in the Microsoft NextGen PC Design Competition for 2008. It’s a handheld touchscreen PC, and like a traditional palette, it has a thumbhole for easy handling.
The design will make you feel like a futuristic Picasso and it will let you digitally paint your next masterpiece with a stylus. It’s wireless of course, so you could paint anything and not be tethered to the PC. The shape is amazing and could be used for many things, not just painting. Pretty nice.

If I were doing a jokey art-themed next-generation PC I’d build it into the easel. Well, all the connectivity and mass storage go into the easel. Each user would have a canvas - you log in by plonking the canvas down on the easel, play around for a bit and then take the canvas off. The canvas, of course, remembers the exact state of your desktop until you next log in…..
Whoah! Those nasty anti-user, anti-consumer advertising links embedded into my comment are NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!!!!! There were added WITHOUT MY CONSENT, and I’ve now added DealTime.com to my ad-blocker.
I shall not be posting or even reading anything at slipperybrick.com ever again.
Hi Ian,
I do understand your concern and we’ve made a change so that those advertising links will no longer show up in the comments.
(We tried going without advertising at all, but eventually the writers wanted to get paid.

Please feel free to return without ads in your comments.
