Just as Freescale announced their reference design for an ARM based smartbook, Lenovo has announced the first ARM-based smartbook device. The compact 10" ARM based device is to be available spring of this year.
The device runs a customized Linux version which seems to be internet centric, and comes with many different social widgets for internet applications preinstalled. The device will work with AT&T's data plans and WiFi service to provide internet connectivity -- not that AT&T is any good for that -- on the go.
The device is highly geared towards portability, being under 2 pounds (under 900 gms) in weight and very slim clamshell design. Much like a smartphone, the device can kept on charging overnight and then used continuously throughout the day, with a battery backup time of 10hrs.
