Maxdata Belinea s.book 1 Mini-Note powered by Via C7-M
German hardware outfit Maxdata have converted Via's simply named NanoBook prototype into the awkwardly named Belinea s.book 1 Mini-Note, powered by Via's miserly 1.2 GHz C7-M processor. But just because it's short on electricity (and branding smarts) doesn't mean it's totally watered down: you've got an 840x480 screen, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, and a DVI port all prettied up in a 2.2-lb., €629 ($924) piece of kit measuring a svelte 9-inches by 6.75-inches by 1.16-inches. But that's not the best part: we're still digging that detachable Skype handset. Hey, 1995 called. It wants its mobile phone design back.

does anyone have these?!?!? whats the main function for users of computers like this and the EEE PC? other than mobility of course
It's CELL phone, not mobile phone! :p
Functionwise, this is awesome! Sure I would want a bit more on the processor, but for a super phone, this is great. I can buy something like this a s skype phone and the extra is that, extra whip cream. Since it runs WinXP, they can actually get some minor out on the field type work done!
If it did have the extra power, using it as a media player would be cool. I wonder how "decent" the screen is...

The Everex Cloudbook is the same thing for $399 at walmart - why didnt editor link out to Cloudbook article?
It's CELL phone not mobile phone! You're not European are you Chris? :p
This looks like some SPY SHIT right here !!!!
NNNNo!! **Slapps Maxdata with a rolled up newspaper from 1984**
Is it another brother of Everex's CE260 / CE261 ??
It is extremely ugly. Like taking a beautiful girl who has not bathed in months - to dinner. Get rid of the stilts. Also, that detachable module does not make any sense, it's another item to loose. Why can't you focus on making a stylish product that fits a lifestyle ?
sorry but this news is about 3 weeks old:

you will also find a video there.
Is it just me or is this the exact same thing as the cloudbook with gOS coming to walmart for $400?
Is a shitty detachable skype phone really worth a $500 premium?
Hey, that's the exact design of the everex cloudbook with a phone added to it.
Direct monetary conversion is inaccurate, considering the cost of living in Europe is identical numerically as it is in America. Hence, the same job in America that pays $45,000 pays €45 000. You're using the wrong method of conversion.
You can get different "modules" other than that phone one. Which is a nice feature if not the best looking.
moose is full of shit. convert it any way you want
"9-inches by 6.75-inches by 1.16-inches (...)
Hey, 1995 called. It wants its mobile phone design back"
Hey, the 19th century called. It wants its imperial units back.
I would LOVE to pay 600$ more for this than the Cloudbook.
I dont know what you say guys but it really looks bad designed..
Couldn't they just to put the phone somewhere "inside" the Laptop and pop out like a remote or PCMCIA card ?
for the processing and function it makes a lot more sense to get either a wibrain or an asus r2h for the same price or an eee pc for a lot cheaper- why would this hit the market at over $900 ? I predict not-so brisk sales
