New Net Tablets show their face....

As the year goes forward the new netbook craze is grabbing everyone. Cheap, clean and fast enough to do what many people can without blowing your budget at the same time. Well just as we got wowed by the netbooks here comes a new kind of netbook. At Demo 09 in Palm Desert, CA, a new netbook was shown with a touch screen.

The Touch Book by Always Innovating was displayed today with a sweet detachable keyboard (optional) and a cool magnetic mounting for putting it on a fridge. The touch screen was designed with people that have larger fingers to be able to use the interface.

The product will run a Linux OS, Gentil (company's CEO, Gregoire Gentil) said, and it's the first Netbook based on an ARM CPU, not the typical Atom found in most Netbooks. He says users can expect 10 to 15 hours. Gentil says this machine is capable of running mobile operating systems such as Android or Windows CE.

The cost is very reasonably slated at $299 (without a keyboard) or $399 with a keyboard, with release dates being this spring. I definitely, look forward to picking up one of these units soon.
