The OS is a customized version of Linux with a heavy emphasis on cooking; it's essentially a souped-up digital cookbook and more. Qook commissions chefs to produce recipes for the device, and offers up preparation steps, ingredient lists, and videos of the items being prepared. It has a nifty feature that allows for recipes to be scaled automatically, as well as the option to plan meals for an entire week and generate a shopping list. The main homescreen has a sliding bar along the right side for widgets like weather and web shortcuts. Despite the cooking emphasis, it also has familiar tablet functionality including a Flash-ready browser and an MP3 player. It's been around in France for a couple of years now, but the device will finally be available stateside some time in September for around $400.
