In terms of hardware and software user interface design the litl webbook is one of the most innovative netbook-style computers released in 2009. The convertible form factor lets you switch between laptop mode for tasks that require keyboard interaction and easel mode for watching online video or viewing photos.
David Adams of OSNews published a review of the litl webbook accompanied by this video. He's taking a closer look at the cards based user interface and highlights some of the benefits and drawbacks of a design concept that is meant to be foolproof.
The maintenance-free experience may well compensate for missing functionality. You don't need to care about updating your system and keeping it secure. This comes at the price of not being able to install native apps, storing data to local disk or working with local files.
You can do what netbooks are mainly intended for like communicating, browsing the Web, using Web based services, watching video, viewing photos, and listening to music, which makes the litl webbok certainly an interesting 2nd or 3rd computer.
But same as David I wouldn't buy it at the cost of US $700. Would you?
