Touch Book Tablet Netbook
What can I say, I am in love. When I was going to buy a netbook 2 months ago this is the idea that kept me from making a purchase. I have been dreaming of this gadget since I got my iPhone. Touch screen + Tablet Size + Long Battery Life = Perfect Device. This device from the company Always Inovating boasts 10 - 15 hours of battery life with an 8.9″ screen and the device is always on. The longer battery life can be attributed to the fact that there is a battery in the keyboard section and in the screen section. Huh?
I guess I didn’t mention that the screen detaches from the keyboard completely. It even has magnets on the back so that it can be affixed to the refrigerator. Just keep it away from those external hard drives and iPods. The device can supposedly run just about any mobile OS incuding Googles Android.
I would rather drop the change on this device than a Kindle and with a $299 price tag I think I just might. The release date for the Touch is scheduled for May or June of 2009. I am hoping to see a lot more of these devices coming out in the near future. It is a new form factor for an industry that previously was focused on the 3 inch screen size of mobile products and the larger 12 - 17 inch screen size of netbooks and laptops. I think the key players now, especially after the iPhone and G1 are going to be low power to give longer battery life and a bit more screen realestate for your fingers to dance over. Fingers crossed.
