The Touch Book is a portable computing device that functions as a netbook, and a tablet computer. Designed by Always Innovating, a company situated in the city of Menlo Park, in California, USA,[2] it was launched at the DEMO conference in March 2009.[3] Its designers stated at launch that it is the first netbook featuring a detachable keyboard with a long battery life (more than 10 hours[4]). It is based on the ARM TI OMAP3530 processor (taking advantage of the Beagleboard and existing open source software) and features a touchscreen.
First units to customers were shipped in August 2009.[5] There were some (expected) software issues for early adopters, which are being progressively addressed. There were also some hardware issues, which resulted in community discontent.[6]
After much speculation on the community forum, a revised v.2 Touch Book and new Smart Book product were announced.[7] The Smart Book is based on the BeagleBoard-xM design.[8]
