Looks like the Computex internet cock-up has sussed itself out long enough for The Register to file this report profiling an eminently internetted sub-notebook from Taiwanese vendor Dialogue, branded the ‘Flybook.’ Not only does the Transmeta Crusoe-powered laptop sport WiFi (802.11b sadly) and optional Bluetooth, but there’s even a built-in tri-band GPRS modem, as well. The 1024 x 600 8.9-inch screen would be “ideal for DVD playback if there was a built-in optical drive” notes The Reg’s Tony Smith, but in a sub-notebook this size an external drive is fairly standard. The Flybook even has a touch-sensitive screen that can be flipped about like a Tablet PC, although it runs regular Windows XP. Looks like a great little notebook, and although there is no pricing information as of yet, you’ll be able to pick up one in black, white, silver, red, or blue as soon as they find a Western vendor.
