Title: Son of Crunchpad
Post by: brake16 on January 04, 2010, 05:07:17 PM
Something else to wish for, since the Crunchpad is such a disappointment ($500 and it's still not shipping?  what the...).

Still at the concept stage, and no producer, but intriguing (BT and wifi).  And you gotta love the $200 price point.

The Touch Book (https://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/) is more expensive ($299) but you can order it even now.

The Question is: when can it be used as a Orbiter ;)

As I know Tom is working to build Linux Orbiter which can be run on generic Linux PC.
