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 [0]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.
