Netbook-tablet-transformer of my dreams, for $ 399
Always Innovating has released a cool form factor tablet netbook on the ARM processor.
In the photo Tablet PC. It costs $ 299. It has a touchscreen of 8.9 inches, a resolution of 1024 * 600. You can watch movies (RISC processor performance at 600 MHz allows). Magnets for fastening tablets on the refrigerator are attached.

But then the most interesting thing is that the tablet turns into a netbook:
For $ 100. How?
If you need a netbook, such a keyboard with guides is purchased for a tablet:
The tablet is inserted on the guide rails of the keyboard from top to bottom, and starts working like a regular netbook with keyboard.
This is not a concept, this is a release, there are already prices for mass production.
Here is such a cool design. I really like. Probably, when I get ready to buy another netbook, or a device close to it in terms of functionality, I will take it from just such a form factor.
Details Wifi, BLuetooth, 7 USB ports, 3 outside and plus 4 inside - a wide field for hacking and connecting additional devices, who understand.
The user interface is pretty friendly for a Linux tablet, like this:
Called OS Touch Book OS (while it is in beta version). Linux kernel 2.6.29. The window manager is made on Gnome. Specifically, there Xfce 4.4 - the right decision, I think so! 3D finger control interface is made on Fennec.
To use, for my taste, it should be quite comfortable. If you watch a movie in the kitchen, you fix it on the fridge, and jabbed your finger at a nice large icon.
According to other sources , there is a version of the delivery of software with Fennec Beta 2 instead of Firefox 3.0, but this is really a matter of taste (I personally like the gray chanterelle less).
Well done "Always innovating". I will look forward to the development of this form factor. I really hope that the idea will make its way further. And we will see in some time in such a form factor even more productive ARM systems.
