Back at CES 2010, I met up with HP who was showing off a cool little Android netbook that they would only refer to as a “technology demo”. The netbook featured everything you would expect and want to see on a device like this including a Snapdragon processor with a solid state drive. In fact the only thing it was missing as a USB port for plugging in some extra memory or to quickly move files around.
Since this was a technology demo, there was no talk of price or availability. But it looks like HP has started shipping this to Telefonica in Spain. The device is no being called the Compaq Airlife 100 and can be had for about $300 with a monthly data plan.
I’m really interested in this device as it’s getting close to the time to replace my laptop and this is an almost perfect device for me. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll see this available here in North America soon!
