Freescale Smartbook: A Lego-Style Modular Netbook

Chip maker Freescale Semiconductor commissioned designers from the Savannah College of Art and Design to come up with designs for netbook-scale devices built around Freescale's hyper-efficient i.MX515 central processor and priced at roughly $200. The result: Small, colorful machines aimed at young users. One design is modular, permitting you to add and remove hardware features at will. The company also plans to release in the not-too-distant future a 3G-connected netbook that will last for 8 hours on a single charge.
