World's First Thin Client Notebook?

netbook_lg

ATLabs has shipped what they're claiming is to be the world's first thin client notebook, the NB-6500 and it's running XPe. The markets they're targeting are Education, Libraries, Healthcare, Hospitality, Quality Control, Mobile Enterprise.

The brochure with specs (pdf) on the device indicate that it has wired and wireless net, 4 USB ports, RDP, Citrix ICA, Flash, Real Player, 'embedded browser' and the other typical thin client necessities.

Looks like the version shipping has a 1.3 GHz Intel proc, 512 DOM and 256MB ram.

Sweet, how do I get one to test in the lab? :-)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but NeoWare has had an XPe notebook for almost a year now.  We have several that we check out to people, and they work great.

Wasn't sure if it was really the first which is why i covered myself by asking it as a question and not making the statement on ATLabs' behalf :-)

Thanks for the link!
