Weighing only 2lbs and retailing for just $399 max (just $299 stipped-down), the ARM-powered TouchBook claims a battery life of 10-15 hours - which is quite a lot for a netbook. But that hardly makes TouchBook special -- what makes this netbook a cut above the rest is that it is actually 4 gadgets rolled into one --

Laptop computer, handheld game device, e-book reader and video player, the multi form factor Touch Book with its clever multi form factors, is the perfect all-in-one second notebook.
