Skytone Alpha 680 is backIt’s been a while since we heard anything about the Android-powered Skytone Alpha 680 netbook. You’ve probably forgotten all about it. We almost did.

Anyhow, some live pictures of the device have surfaced once again. And yes, the 7-inch touchscreen netbook looks nice as ever. Turns out there’s a reason the netbook hasn’t been very social as of late. Word has it that the device is still “not really stable”, which is pretty sad this late in the game.

Android-based Alpha 680 netbook spottedIf you are in the market for an Android-based netbook that looks like it belongs on a fire truck, you are in luck my odd friend. This is the first pic we’ve seen of Skytone’s Alpha 680 in the wild.

Looks like it has a nice large trackpad and comfortably sized keyboard. Of course the swiveling screen is cool. But that color. It’s hard to get past the brightness. Also, check out the D-pad controls on the screen. When it arrives it will run you around $250. Ouch, that is red.
