We just love it when there is other competition and the VIA NanoBook is the one that beats the Palm Foleo. The reason for this is because the Palm Foleo which is brilliant is 10 inches, but the VIA NanoBook UMD is only a mere 7 inches Jesus that is small. The 7 inch VIA NanoBook UMD Windows Vista laptop is definitely a match for the Palm Foleo.

This NanoBook is only $600 but is not set for release at the moment, it is just a detailed look at their design to get people aware that they can be good at design (bring it out now you mad people). This tiny little baby may be small but it will pack an awesome punch, next to the 7 inch screen is a little slot for taking different add-ons from VoIP phones, GPS modules and 3G cards.
