New Netbook Offers Detachable Tablet

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fun-new-toys dept.

Engadget is reporting that a new "Touch Book" being previewed at DEMO '09 in California by the company "Always Innovating" promises a new take on mobile computing devices. Touting 10 to 15 hours of battery life, this ARM-powered netbook weighs less than two pounds, but the true magic comes with the detachable screen that can function as a completely stand-alone touchscreen tablet. The machine is currently running a Linux OS with a touchable 3D UI, the entire screen is magnetic for mounting on a metal surface, and the whole package is being projected for less than $300.

    Then does that mean its ok for everyone else to start calling their website slashdot, so long as they have a slightly different domain name?
