A litl holiday cheer with ABC’s The View
We had a blast bringing holiday cheer to ABC's The View during their Christmas eve broadcast!
After a really fun show -- who will ever forget the "ugly holiday sweater" fashion show? -- executive producer Bill Geddie surprised everyone by coming out dressed as Santa Claus. Much to the audience's delight, he brought a great Christmas giveaway with him... a litl webbook. The audience, as you'll see in the video clip, was more than happy with their unexpected Christmas gift.
Thanks to everyone at The View for their enthusiastic support: the show's producers and hosts, our fellow guests, and especially the studio audience.
Watch The View December 24th for a litl surprise!
Watch The View on TV Thursday morning December 24th for a litl surprise!
Happy Holidays from litl.
“ABC News” litl webbook review
Eric M. Strauss, technology reporter and producer, reviewed the litl webbook today in ABC News' popular online "Gadget Guide" column. We met Eric in November during our launch and enjoyed briefing him in his New York City office.
Eric writes in his litl webbook review:
"The litl webbook packs as much power as many of the laptops available today, but the tiny Boston-based company that designed the litl is offering a whole new way to use a computer.
It is not a laptop -- it's an Internet device. In a refreshing approach, the manufacturer has concentrated on simplicity over features.
Litl webbook is an ideal first computer for the kids, a fun digital appliance for the kitchen or a simple to use device for the elderly.
The operating system is completely unique to litl. It's been written from the ground up (2 ½ years in the making) instead of being tweaked for the past 30 years like the Windows and Mac OS.
When users turn on the webbook, they are presented with an easy-to-navigate main page. Instead of menus or a desktop littered with folders, the screen immediately displays the most popular applications. For example, a Web browser and search box are built right in to the user interface.
It is truly an Internet computer and it uses online services most people are already familiar with, such as Gmail, Youtube, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter, and common Internet standards like RSS."
