Always Innovating’s Touch Book Netbook in Production
June 26th, 2009 by Mike Prospero
It’s not vaporware after all! Always Innovating’s Touch Book, a netbook with a detachable keyboard that was introduced at this year’s DEMO conference, announced that units will be shipping out next month.
The company, one of our Mobile Mavericks of 2009, has had the $299 netbook (plus $99 for the keyboard) on pre-order for some time, leading some to suspect that the Touch Book might never make it to market. Well, cast your suspicions aside–at least for now.
We look forward to getting our hands on this device and especially to see how good the touch experience is. In the meantime, check out the full spec list.
