Recently, Pocket Lint posted a Dialogue Flybook review which gets the score of 7 out of ten:
“The Flybook Tablet PC is the first device which Italian-based Dialogue have launched into the UK market and from first appearances is set to cause something of a stir.
The Flybook laptop comes in a striking array of colours – the one we got to look at came in bright red but it’s also possible to opt for yellow or blue, as well as the more business-like black. The striking colour may be the first thing to hit you but its weight of 1.2kg will be the second. This is the lightest convertible Tablet PC currently on the market, making for an impressive start…”
The Verdict of this short but very nice review:
It would be easy to dismiss the Dialogue Flybook laptop as all style and no substance. After all, the brightly colouring casing and novel navigation system isn’t exactly what we’re used to.
The Flybook tablet pc works well within its limited remit and the addition of the SIM-card is definitely a step in the right direction but at the heart of it, the machine is just too clunky and slow to really impress beyond its looks.
TabletPCReviewSpot features some images of the Dialogue Flybook Tablet PC taken at the C3 Expo:
Flybook weighs 2.7 lbs. It is a full-featured convertible Tablet Computer including no-nonsense wireless hardware (wi-fi, Bluetooth and tri-band cellular wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE). This tiny little machine packs a punch for such a small device with dedicated ATI graphics to boot!
We are talking about Dialogue’s Flybook Tablet Computer. We were lucky enough to catch some excellent photos of this machine’s casing at the C3 Expo in NYC that we recently attended. Unfortunately, these display models were non-functional dummy units. We are of course working to obtain a live working machine at this time. For what it’s worth, enjoy some close up shots of what could turn out to be an outstanding Tablet Computer product.
You can also read the Dialogue ultra-portable Flybook review from PocketPCReviews:
“Let me introduce you to a close to ideal travelling companion, the Flybook from Dialogue.
If you’ve been attracted to the likes of FlipStart, the OQO or any other ultra-portable notebook, you owe it to yourself to have a good look at the tablet-style Flybook.
You expect it to have WiFi and Bluetooth, but add a SIM card slot for GPRS (there’s even a CDMA model), a CF / PC card slot, 2 FireWire ports and suddenly you have an ultra-capable machine. The main attraction of the Dialogue Flybook tabletpc is its size. Small is beautiful and smaller plus smarter is a most seductive combination.”
