Steve,

That looks to be the same as the Archos 7" Iinternet Media Tablet (I think with Android). There is also what looks to be even cooler, the Archos 9 has an MSRP of $499 for a 60GB drive and Win7 Starter edition (had not heard of that edition until finding details about the Archos 9...)

So, I can't see the Cmotech being more than that....here is a thread about several of the Archos devices...started looking at the A5 Android and ended up with a lust-jones for the Archos 9...but battery life on the 9" device is only 3-5hrs...not ideal even for casual use...love the form factor and design though! I have a feeling Cmotech is the maker of the at least a couple of the Archos devices.

Nice thing about a Win7 device is all the reader software that should run on it...so that DRM becomes pretty much a moot point. Plus I could store a day's worth of photo's on it when out on a day of making Ansel Adams turn over in his grave when I get behind a lens!
