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.

Heh nice
The omission of any mention of 3g had me baffled as well...as that would be one of the most logical included features for a portable internet-only appliance like this.
Also, apparently no wired ethernet...
Also - I think this is pretty funny on their FAQ page:
"If you are seeing the message "Cannot reach litl.com" or having any additional problems, please contact ask.litl.com"
made me chuckle anyway.
