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.

The DotCom boom is long gone and today not even Apple could get away with such an overpriced joke as this.
$700? Seriously? What planet are these people from?
Sorry Litl but unless you lower the price a LOT or create a much more interesting product you'll be gone before the end of 2010.
