Your SmartBooks are being made since Nov 18, 2010.

The lack of informations is frustrating, but I find the alternatives are not so open, nor so innovative.

You're right, that's why i'm waiting... but it's a problem because i need a computer for my work.... Now, I think a good way to lobby collectively for info ...

From other topic:

- http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/31/herc ... h-linux-a/ There are two models, the Slim HD and EX HD, the former tipping the scales at 1.9lbs and measuring only .8-inches thick, while the EX model is a bit heftier at 2.5lbs and 1.1-inches, managing 13 hours of "real use" battery life. Both are said to smoothly play 720p video on their 10-inch, 1024 x 600 displays or export it over HDMI, running a custom flavor of Linux and powered by an ARM Cortex-A8 processor. Hercules says this "sets a new standard" in netbooks, but 8 or 16GB of flash storage and 512MB of RAM sounds all too familiar to us, and if that cramped, recessed keyboard is the future we're quite happy to stick in the present, thanks.

I have given up on Always Innovating, and I no longer believe we will ever receive our TBs or SBs. I looked at the new Hercules ARM Cortex netbooks, but ultimately decided to purchase the Zareason Terra HD ( http://zareason.com/shop/Terra-HD.html ). I think it is perfect for my needs, has 2 gigs of RAM, and 6 hours of battery life, and ships with *linux*
