Its a super thin notebook (literally!) computer with a pad of paper in a folder... one side has the laptop while the other side has the paper pad. The LCD is normally covering the keyboard, and has a touchscreen interface. You can tilt and flip the screen up to uncover the keyboard and to function like a normal laptop.
It seems great! What do you all think? (aside from the steep price for a car computer?)

I have ALWAYS wanted a laptop with a touchscreen. The only problem I have with this thing is that it doesnt have any disk drives built in. It comes with a port replicator and a floppy drive, but I'd still have to get a USB CD/RW/DVD drive if I wanted to do anything like that.

about the price: a 10.4" LCD touchscreen from Earthlcd.com costs $1895. This "transnote" only costs $999, plus you get a full computer. If I had an extra grand laying around, I would buy one for sure.

Thats the one! Cool eh?

AND you have a paper scribble pad too... but just to mount it... sheesh kinda big...

The catalog lists it as $1600 tho... wow... online is much cheaper.
