Details are a bit light on this one, but Taiwan's Aware Electronics looks to have taken advantage of the now-happening Global Sources trade show to introduce a new netbook with a fairly significant surprise up its sleeve: a detachable screen.

More like an engineering fraternity than an auto company, Honda Motor likes to explore technological challenges.
