At the Computex show in Taiwan on Tuesday, Freescale Semiconductor unveiled prototypes of a new portable computer format that it calls a "smartbook." Both Freescale and Qualcomm have just begun promoting the smartbook notion as a potential category of computing devices between traditional notebooks (or more recent Netbooks) and much smaller smartphones.
The prototype smartbook seen here in candy apple red unfolds and separates into several pieces to allow use of keyboard and mouse. Freescale came up with its prototypes in conjunction with the Savannah College of Art and Design.
