E-Lead Electronic launched it’s small-ish Noahpad UMPC late last year, made its debut at CES 2008 and the thing is making an appearance at CeBIT 2008.
The Noahpad has a 7-inch LED-backlit screen, runs on Ubuntu 7.10, 512MB memory, a 30GB HDD, a 0.3MP camera and 802.11 b/g for wireless. It positions itself as a 2nd, pocket jighly-portable computer at 2/3 the size of the EeePC and weighing 800 grams. It’s also foldable through 360 degrees into laptop or palmtop modes.
The keyboard consists of 2 large 70×70mm clickable touchpads, so the Noahpad is likely not to be positioned as an input device.

Designed by Jonathan Lucas, the keyboard is composed of Magneclay, an oil based synthetic agent that possesses limitless morphing capabilities. Great concept, but unfortunately, not only does Magneclay not yet exist, it might be physically impossible.
