Take a look at what Samsung has done with the netbook: The Sliding PC 7 is a touchscreen tablet that transforms itself into a netbook when you reveal its slide-out keyboard hidden underneath.

Introduced today at CES, the 2.18 lb beauty is running Windows () 7, connects anywhere using 3G and WiMAX (), and it’s just .78 inches thick. It’s not going to be winning any speed contests under the hood with its Intel Atom Z670 CPU, but its 32GB or 64GB solid-state drive might hasten things along a bit.

Why didn’t we think of this: A tablet PC resembling a slider cellphone with a keyboard underneath? Brilliant design. And though our friends at CrunchGear noticed that Asus beat Samsung to this idea last night, that doesn’t make us like it any less.
