  • Weight: 2 pounds (with keyboard)
  • CPU: ARM Texas Instruments OMAP3
  • Display: 8.9″ 1024 x 600 pixel touchscreen
  • Storage: 8GB micro SD card
  • Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth
  • Expansion: 6 USB ports (3 internal, 2 external, and 1 mini)
  • Battery: Claimed 10 to 15 hours of battery life

The Touch Book comes preloaded with Fennec, which is the code name for Mozilla’s early version of Firefox for mobile devices.

They expect to sell the whole unit for $399 or just the display for $299
