Qualcomm Shows Lenovo Smartbook

From PC World -

Qualcomm recently showed off a Lenovo-made Snapdragon-based smartbook that will be formally launched at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. It sported a Linux-based UI that consisted of six large widgets, including ones for e-mail and Facebook and will reportedly support HD video. And while the Snapdragon chipset is ARM based, which seldom supports Flash, the smartbook was demonstrated playing YouTube videos. It has also already secured operator backing from AT&T.

A smartbook is basically a mini-netbook, with feature-wise, being somewhere between a amartphone and a netbook. It also has a lower price and longer battery life than the latter.
