Touch Book – The iPad Killer!!!
I have seen the future. In a couple of days a new tablet will be announced that blows the iPad out of the water. Yup, I’m calling the Touch Book an iPad killer. This press release is dated March 2nd.
I’m particularly impressed with the four internal USB ports. No more dongles hanging off the side of your machine. It’s already got WiFi buit in, but you might need to add a thumbdrive, microSD reader, or some other accessory. You know the Mega L33t H4rdw4r3 H4X0rz like to find internal USB ports.
As for operating systems, you’ll have your choice of Android, Chrome OS, Ubuntu Linux, Gentoo Linux, and MeeGo (Maemo) coming soon. COOL! I’d guess the hardware would also work for the Wild Ducks Project?
9.7 inch screen, OMAP3 processor, HD video capable, 10 hour battery life, four internal USB ports, three external USB, HDMI, magnetic (!!!), and laser beams. OK, maybe not laser beams, but freaking magnets? Reasonably cool.
As for pricing, $299 for the tablet. $399 also gets you the keyboard with an extra battery to turn it into a 2 pound netbook. I just ordered one. Head on over to Always Innovating to check it out.
