Litl LLC launched today a Linux-based laptop design, named "Webbook". The device comes with a custom simplified interface, it can run third party web apps, and it can operate both in a laptop mode, or by bending backwards the screen, in the "easel TV-like mode". The Webbook can also connect through HDMI to an HDTV, and a remote control is sold separately. The Webbook goes in auto-maintainance mode, when in sleep. The Atom 1.6 Ghz/1 GB RAM device sells for $699. More info here and here. Videos of the UI here.

And that's the important thing here. Before this revolution in technology, everyone used to just buy two normal netbooks for $699, and then make their own mini internet with two machines. Now we can connect to the big boy internet for the same price! Want!
Edit: I just realized it doesn't even have a touchscreen! But what does it matter, let's just navigate The Internets Tubes with our wheel!
