Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Wed 4th Nov 2009 08:13 UTC
Hardware, Embedded Systems 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.

"But it comes with The Internet.
I'm still trying to figure out how they did that, considering it has no hard drive... where are they storing it?! "
Obviously...in the cloud!
