Always Innovating has unveiled the Touch Book, a versatile new device that works as both a netbook and a tablet with its detachable keyboard and a 3D touchscreen user interface.
The Touch Book weighs less than two pounds as a netbook and has a battery life of 10 to 15 hours - three times longer than most netbooks.
"The Touch Book is perfect for these tough economic times because you can use it in so many ways," said Gregoire Gentil, founder of Always Innovating and creator of the Touch Book.
"You can use it as a netbook computer, a hand-held game device, or a video player. You can even reverse the keyboard to prop it up on a table in an inverted 'V'. Finally, because it is magnetic, you can remove the keyboard and put the tablet on the fridge to serve as a kitchen computer or digital frame."
The Touch Book combines the best of open source software and open hardware with a sleek industrial design by designer Fred Bould.
The innovative design includes internal USB plugs. "I hate having dongles hanging from my laptop - I often end up disconnecting them accidentally - so we opted to put the USB inside," said Gentil.
The Touch Book is the first netbook featuring an ARM processor from Texas Instruments, resulting in outstanding battery life, and a fan less, heat-and-noise-free system.
The Touch Book is expected to ship in late spring and will start at $299. Advance orders can be placed at http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/store/.
