Very cool!!!
The price should be the oposite of its size.....

HP had a similar producat back in the day. It was a pentium 75mhz. About the same size... Little bigger maybe. But at the time was a nice little machine.
Nice find and very impressive. I would be in the market if the price is right...

Found this on one of the links:

Vulcan, a Seattle company owned by Allen, developed the FlipStart and is hoping to lure big computer and electronics companies into licensing the design. The first FlipStarts could go on sale in the second half of this year for $1,500 to $2,000.

Checkout the OQO, the two machines sem similar. However the OQO went for a pad design rather than a clamshell.

Toshiba also: the libretto. I had the 50ct (75mhz Pentium). Size of a piece of paper folded in half. Too bad my slackware install got hosed.

I actually have a Libretto sitting on my shelf. There were some cool mod sites in Japan for them. I wouldn't mind trying to get rid of it, but who is going to buy a p75 laptop these days?
