German webOS Atoolo learns English

Atoolo
We know you've been sitting around waiting for yet another webOS product to launch. Because you know, they're so incredibly useful. You know, because they provide a browser-based user interface pretty much identical to the desktop from which you're launching your browser.

The included applications are decent, but nothing to write home about. There's an email client, a word processor, address book, appointments, meeting planner, and some online applications like internet radio and Google Video/Google Maps.
