Unboxing the Compaq Airlife 100

Chippy from Carrypad gives us an gives us an unboxing and demo of a Compaq Airlife 100 Spanish model. The Compaq Airlife 100 has yet to go on sale in Spain but is expected soon.

The whole unit weights in at around 1kg, with 16GB of storage, and 10.1" 1024x600 resistive touch screen. It runs Android 1.5, which means no Google marketplace and no multi-touch gestures. With the 3-cell li-poly battery, it is touted to give you up to 10 hours of battery life. With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor, you can expect performance similar to the iPad, which is slightly less than that of your average netbook.

The Airlife seems to be built pretty decent, with nice plastics, and a very lightweight power adapter. The screen however, only tilts back to probably around 120 degrees maximum, which might be a bit limiting for some.
