    The E-lead electronics Noahpad UMPC enters the UMPC market with many unique features. The Noahpad sports a few new and innovative features, first is the introduction of the Noahpad input, a pair of large (70x70mm) pads that fill the dual role of touchpad for cursor movement and keyboard for text input. The second is a flip up screen that can rotate to nearly 360 degrees all the way around behind the keyboard to function in a handheld rather than laptop mode. This 7" display has a full 1024x768 resolution with a virtualized 10" screen and when in handheld mode can overlay an image of the keyboard to aid typing without seeing the physical keyboard. http://www.productwiki.com/noahpad-umpc/


    The developers suggested a number of potential uses for the Noahpad – the compact laptop can serve as a screen for in-car GPS systems, as well as a portable entertainment device that can be placed virtually anywhere – “Whether you are cooking, bathing or even gardening, simply hang the multi-media player at the appropriate spot and watch your favorite programs”.

    Due to a unique positioning of the various keys on the keyboard, it is possible to hold the laptop with both hands and use these to type or navigate the cursor at the same time – “It is the ultimate balance between utility and sleekness” – say the inventors. http://thefutureofthings.com/news/1109/noahpad-face-the-interface.html


    Engadget spotted a Noahpad at Computex, and discovered that E-Lead isn’t done adding features to the device. Now it supports multi-touch. You can put two hands on the keyboard and slide your fingers inward to shrink an image or slide out to make it bigger. Or you can rotate images by spinning your hands. The iPhone, Macbook Air and Eee PC 900 all sport similar multi-touch features. But judging by the videos, the Noahpad’s multi-touch feature is far less sensitive and far more awkward to use. http://www.liliputing.com/2008/06/noahpad-adds-multi-touch-still-looks.html
