HP before the Mobile World Congress has confirmed the Airlife 100th The beginnings of the company SmartBook, which is 10-inch touch screen system similar to the concept at CES, and turn away from x86 to ARM demonstrated, probably a 1GHz Snapdragon. The switch, along with the use of a 16 GB flash drive, the system 12 hours of battery life (and 10 days standby), even though the design is thinner than a typical mini-Atom-based Netbook.
Again, as the concept of running, the computer instead of Windows and Android gets a number of inherent advantages, including an instant-on boot and applications designed for touch.
The first Airlife 100 carries a front webcam as well as both 3G and Wi-Fi Internet access. 3G a big role in starting the system will play, as it will initially be sold through Telefonica in Spain and the subsidized divisions Movistar in Latin America and O2 in the rest of Europe. Since the SmartBook already reached the FCC, it is probably in the U.S. by a carrier such as AT & T or T-Mobile ship. Prices were not disclosed, but will probably vary depending on the institution and the length of the contrast.
If we had a brief test with the SmartBook at CES, we found it less smooth than the Lenovo skylight products easier to understand, however, since most of the Android platform is familiar. We believe that with Android 2, but it is not known whether the system with 2 or an earlier release 1.6 will be like a ship.
