Modbook OS X

Welcome to 2008, readers, and if Axiotron's announcement that its long-awaited Modbook is finally shipping — several weeks ahead of schedule — is any indication, it looks to be a good year indeed for consumer electronics fans. 

First unveiled nearly a year ago at MacWorld 2007, the MacBook-based, Wacom-modified Modbook has definitely seen its share of delays, although in the days and months since, the 13.3-inch slate has gained the distinction of being one of the few pieces of non-Cupertino, Apple-approved hardware. 

The world's first OS X tablet can be yours immediately starting at 2,290$.

ModBook ready — Go-Go!

Our friends at jkOnTheRun recently got word from Axiotron that the long fabled ModBook, which you might recall from Macworld 2007, is going to ship on or around January 8th, 2008 a year since it was announced. Since the ModBook has been delayed so much, its specs have changed.
It is now running Leopard, the GPS option is standard (formerly $99), and the specs reflect the latest MacBook hardware rev (since the ModBook is basically a MacBook converted into a tablet with a pressure sensative touch screen).

All of this starting at 2279.00$. Here's hoping that Apple doesn't rev the MacBook at Macworld this year, for Axiotron's sake.
