The Flybook superconnected laptop

Taipei-based subnotebook maker Dialogue came out with an impressive little number called the Flybook. It's got almost all the wireless connectivity you could want, with built-in 802.11b, tri-band GPRS, an internal Bluetooth option and a 56Kbps modem —
the only thing it lacks is 802.11b's faster cousin, 802.11g (you can't have it all). The rest of the specs are pretty decent as well, with a 1GHz Transmeta processor, 512MB of DDR SDRAM, a 40GB drive, a companion DVD drive, and an 8.9-inch LCD touch-sensitive widescreen that can be flipped around for true tablet usage. On top of all that it comes in a bunch of colors, including red, black,silver, blue, and the obligatory iBook white. Not bad for such a little package. Of course no word yet on how much it will actually cost, which is always a bad sign. Still, we want one.
