Flybook V3 subnotebook with swiveling touchscreen display

We haven't had a look at the upcoming Flybook V3 subnotebook from Taiwan's Dialogue, but if it's anything like the company's earlier models, we suspect they've got a winner on their hands. The V3 is said to include an 8.9-inch touchscreen at 1024x600, and an Intel M at 1.1 GHz. Other specs include 512MB RAM standard and hard drives running from 20GB to 100GB, along with WiFi and Bluetooth. The V3 will also include one of our favorite Flybook features: its swiveling screen (pictured here on the A33). The V3 will be available either XP Home or Pro, or with XP Tablet Edition — something of a coup for Flybook, since previous models didn't meet Microsoft's strict specs for that OS. However, Microsoft has relaxed its standards a bit (not a bad move; after all, tablets aren't exactly flying out the door), enabling companies like Dialog to include the OS as an option.
