‘Noahpad’ UMPC demo: Keyboard + trackpad combo
by Doug Aamoth on June 15, 2008

Here’s what appears to be a UMPC with a keyboard that doubles as a gigantic multi-touch trackpad. The screen folds all the way over, putting the device into a quasi-tablet mode as well. It’s called the NoahPad, which might have something to do with the Noah from biblical times — you know, the guy with the ark. Just guessing, since the music in the video is “Oh Come, All Ye Faithful”.

Specs include: 7-inch LCD, VIA Eden C7 chip, Ubuntu, 512MB RAM, and a 30GB hard drive. The NoahPad was discovered at the very end of last year, so you may or may not have heard about it before, but this video appears to have recently been released by the company behind the device. No word yet on pricing or availability, though.
