As for the touchbook, they dropped the ball, but given the hype they generated, it won't be long before you start seeing some of the big boys offering a similar design. And those should be good quality.
Is anyone on their forums? I would post that review and see what they plan to do about it. One of two things will happen. 1) they will see the error of their ways and make a better device. I would be willing to pay an extra $5 or 10 for a quality piece of kit; or 2) they will minimize the review and continue along their way making them as they are...Which will tell us everything we need to know about Always Innovating.

The pictures that I saw weren't clear, and I was wondering/worrying about the clips for the tablet portion. If those or the hinges break, while not completely useless like a traditional laptop, it would seriously compromise the functionality of the device.

Heck, I think I will go ahead and join their forum. Feel free to pile on though. Maybe if enough people mention it, they will fix it through peer pressure. They seem to be trying to be good members of the community.
