Two-pound, $399 Touch Book boasts detachable display : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech: "On display at this week's DEMO conference in California: The Touch Book, an 8.9-inch, ARM-powered netbook that morphs into a portable, touchscreen tablet, all for the bargain price of $399.Gizmodo got a hands-on look at a rough prototype of Touch Book, designed by an outfit called Always Innovating and slated to ship in May or June.
At first glance, the always-on Touch Book ($399, or $299 for the display alone) looks like any number of netbooks we've seen making the rounds. Measuring 9.4 by 7 by 1.4 inches and weighing in at just two pounds, the device features an 8.9-inch, 1024 by 600-pixel display, and runs on a custom, Linux-based OS, although (as Gizmodo reports), Always Innovating says the Touch Book could be modified to run on Windows CE or even Google's mobile Android platform."
