The so called Alpha 680 will run on the Google Android Platform
Still a prototype
SkyTone - the Chinese company which is engaged in embedded system design and is famous for the Skype headset and Alpha 400 Linux based Netbook is working on a Netbook named Alpa 680 which is still in its prototype stage. It has a 7-inch TFT LCD true color screen with a resolution of 800x480, a 533GHz ARM11 processor (used in most of the Smartphones), 128MB RAM upgradable to 256MB and a 1GB Nand flash memory (supports upto 4GB). The display is said to have double hinges so that it can rotate to give it a feel of a tablet PC but it is unlikely to have a touch screen.
Unlike other available Netbooks it is supposed to have Game Keys on the two sides of its display panel as shown in the picture.
Other features include a Wi-Fi, Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, microphone jack, AV out and a SD card reader. SkyTone is likely to keep the price of this Netbook at around $100 and would offer it in five colors pink, yellow, red, white and black.
