HP's mobile computing unit appears to have decided that the term smartbook refers to putting a smartphone's components inside a netbook's body -- which kind of makes sense -- so they've built their Airlife 100 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/hp-compaq-airlife-100-smartbook-hits-the-fcc/) atop an Android OS platform, underpinned by a Snapdragon CPU (unconfirmed, but highly likely (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/hp-mini-snapdragon-powered-android-hands-on/)), a 16GB SSD, 3G and WiFi connectivity, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen display. We really can find no cause for complaint -- in fact this is the most excitement a Compaq (http://www.engadget.com/tag/compaq)-branded product has caused us... ever. HP touts a rock solid 12-hour battery life for the Airlife, which stretches out to a mighty 10 days of standby, in case you're one of those folks who hate to switch their electronics off. Announced in partnership with Telefonica (http://www.engadget.com/tag/telefonica), this smartbook will be offered as a subsidized part of mobile broadband service plans in Europe and Latin America. It may well find itself renamed under the HP Mini (http://www.engadget.com/tag/hpmini) branding when it rolls around to the US, but for now head on over to Engadget Spanish for the full PR.Gallery: Compaq Airlife 100 (http://www.engadget.com/photos/compaq-airlife-100/)
