An interesting take on the netbook concept: a device that’s designed to be an appliance, but without all the sour aftertaste of other recent stumbles like the Palm Foleo or the Nokia Booklet 3G.

Looking at the teams involved in the design (Cooper and Pentagram), it’s got a good design heritage.  What I’m curious about is whether or not they’ve solved the perennial problem of this type of devices: nobody wants a device that feels like a stripped-down version of a ‘real computer’.

Hopefully their ‘non-OS’ OS is enough to get buyers over the hump.
