Taiwan’s institute of Information industry has come up with something really interesting. Their Mtube II netbook has two great features making it a really useful gadget. First, the screen is removable, to be used stand-alone as a touch screen tablet. Cool eh? Yeah! It is really something which I day dreamed many times. You can take the screen off the netbook body when you want to use it as a tablet. It is not something like other tablets which have their keyboards folded and thus giving an extra thickness to the tablet mode. The tablet is slick and smart with keyboard completely taken off.

Second, it runs windows XP as well as Android OS.  Yes! this thing really does exist, just take the tablet off the netbook body and it will automatically switch to Android OS so you can enjoy all great mobile computing with a great mobile device operating system. As soon as you put the tablet back into the netbook body, the OS switches back to windows XP. Are you stuck with Android when in table mode or XP in netbook mode? No! Not really, you can run the OS of your choice when you want. In the video demo by jkkmobile, the netbook mode is running windows XP and Android OS simultaneously, it seems something like VMWare.

Other specs include an Atom processor but the battery life in the early prototype is 2-3 hrs approximately.
