Mobinnova Beam Specifications and information

Mobinnova Beam alternatives

If the Beam includes a true, Google, Android OS this will be one of the first ever non-phone products to be approved by Google. If not, the Android experience will be incomplete. (No marketplace or Google apps.) Build quality seems to be very good, it's lightweight and if the price is right, this really could be an interesting netbook / smartbook

Latest news (June 2010) is that the Mobinnova company is not trading any more.
