Hung soup today. It shows the Tango X, a branded version of the VIA Nanobook reference design and the same as the Belinea S.Book which is available in Europe. It's an interesting set-up and, as far as I remember, the screen and keyboard sections can actually lay flat so assuming the rotation feature works, it could make an interesting usage scenario. I wonder what the 'inkers' think of this. Its not a mobile inking solution but could it be useful for, say, electronic painting? I bet the touchscreen is 'soft' touch though.

I should have feedback of the soft/hard touch issue, some hands-on reports and images of the S.Book later this week. UMPCPortal is sponsoring an S.Book customer in Holland to take photos and write some first impressions about the device as soon as it gets delivered.

The more I see of this version of the Nanobook, the more I'm liking it and I'll be looking forward to getting my own hands on it at CeBIT next week.

More info on the S.Book in the product portal.

Image1 Here’s a great image that I saw via Hung soup today. It shows the Tango X, a branded version of the VIA Nanobook reference design and the same as the Belinea S.Book which is available in Europe. It’s an interesting set-up and, as far as I remember, the screen and keyboard sections can actually lay flat so assuming the rotation feature works, it could make an interesting usage scenario. I wonder what the ‘inkers’ think of this. Its not a mobile inking solution but could it be useful for, say, electronic painting? I bet the touchscreen is ‘soft’ touch though.

    I would definitely say screen and keyboard are the most important buying decision for me as the specs are fairly standard across brands anyway.
