Did you pre-order Always Innovating’s Touch Book netbook with removable keyboard when it was announced way back in March? If you did, well you’re in luck as said netbook is finally shipping sometime in July (hopefully).

Apparently, Always Innovating has already started manufacturing the Touch Book and barring any unavoidable circumstances, finished units of the said netbook will start shipping pretty soon.

Now for a little bit of good news – the Touch Book’s announced price still remains the same at $299. Now that’s one good reason to wait for a few days more right?

So aside from its removable keyboard, here are the specs of this so called half-netbook, half-tablet PC:

• Texas Instruments OMAP3530 with Micron 256MB (RAM) + 256MB (NAND) Memory
• 8.9 inches 1024×600 A+ screen
• Main storage: 8GB SD card — we decided to change from Micro SD to standard SD, so that you can easily upgrade it
• Internal USB wifi 802.11 b/g/n powered by a Ralink 3070 chipset
• Internal USB bluetooth class 2.1
• FCC, CE, UL-certified, 5V, 3.5A power adapter
• 8.9 inches pressure sensitive touch screen
• US Qwerty 24cm-large keyboard — around 95% of the size of a standard keyboard
• Cirque Touchpad
• Two Owolff high-quality internal stereo speakers
• 3D accelerometer
• Two internal batteries 6000 and 12000mAh — it can be replaced with a screw driver
• 7 USB ports: three external, four internal, three of them may be reserved for wifi, bluetooth and keyboard
• Bi-color silver/black case — see photos — with a beautiful dark-red back cover (we decided to go only for red for the first batch as it really jumps out, you won’t regret it).
• Secured attachment system of tablet into keyboard
• Independent magnet system for the tablet — we don’t want your Touch Book to un-magnetize all your credit cards while carrying it in your bag!

Those are certainly way too many for a little machine at such affordable cost, right folks? So, are you getting one for yourself?
