The Touch Book OS has two modes: one for use with keyboard and touchpad, and one for use as a standalone touchscreen tablet. The innovative 3D interface is easy to use and does not require a stylus or a skinny pinky.

Just what is this "Touch Book OS"? Does it include OOo or any other office suite? What about Flash or Java? How well it works in real life?

Too many unknowns - will wait for real thing to become available...
