Can you say Momentra (sp?) lookalike?
That reminds me of that "breaking notebook hinges backwards folding"
original design.
The Momenta has just one hinge that connects the display to the base.
It's a goofy hinge with thick slab of rubber around it which is guaranteed
to crack and break with time, but other than that, it's not much different
that a normal notebook hinge.
The Vadem looks more like the Compaq Concerto, and it's very hard to find
a Concerto without a broken hinge. But the concept is closer to the GRiD
Convertible (2670/2270) which can be used either as a traditional notebook
or as a pen-based slate by swiveling the LCD.
Either way, I want one (and thanks to Uncle Roger for pointing it out to
me).
