The Flybook is one sexy little connected beast!

I’ve just seen the sexiest, most connected little notebook (3G/WiFi/GPRS/Bluetooth) called a Flybook. It’s manufactured by Dialogue and is a full featured notebook that runs Windows XP, but also utilises tablet PC features.

It has built in 3G (UMTS) giving it mobile voice & data functionality that can make and recieve voice calls using the installed BVRP software.

It is a very well made & solid feeling notebook considering it is around 1Kg in weight and has the following specs:

• Processor  – Transmeta Crusoe TM-5800, clock rate:1GHz
• Graphic Chipset  – ATi Radeon Mobolity – 16MB VRAM – Support VGA-out and Video-out
• Main Memory  – 512MB DDR (to 1.5Gb)
• Display  – 8.9" wide-view 16:9 display
• Touch Panel overlaid for full screen touch control
• PC Card Interface  – Support PCMCIA Cardbus Type-I/III
• Hard Disk  – 2.5" Ultra DMA 66/100; 40 GB  (to 100Gb)
• Bluetooth Version 1.1
• Built-in GPRS/UMTS
• Wireless LAN(WiFi)  – 802.11b
• Built-in Modem (56K) (RJ-11)
• Built-in LAN (10/100Mbps) (RJ-45)
• Audio  – AC 97; built-in two speakers (stereo)
• Keyboard  – 80-key standard keyboard
• Battery  – 3-cell Li-Ion rechargeable battery
• Operating System  – Microsoft® Windows® XP Home or Professional Edition
• Dimensions:235 x 155 x 31 (mm)
• Weight around 1230g
• External Power  – 100~240V / 50-60 Hz

Supposedly there is a optional CD/DVD burner too.

It’s recommend retail in Australia will be AUS$3400 and anything that comes in red wins my vote!
