Specs:
  • 9.7" x 7" x 1.3" for around 3 lbs (with keyboard)
  • ARM Texas Instruments OMAP3 chip
  • 1024x600 8.9'' screen
  • Storage: 8GB SD card
  • Wifi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth
  • 3-dimensional accelerometer
  • Speakers, micro and headphone
  • 8 USB 2.0 (4 internal, 4 external)
  • 10 hours of battery life
Price is $299 tablet only or $399 with keyboard. Sounds like they are backlogged though and are not immediately shipping.
LOL, thanks, Mike. Yeah, I already checked this out. I should have said in my post that not only do I want a tablet form factor, I want Windows and some serious hardware. Yep, I'm picky .

For example: My netbook has Windows 7, a 250 gig HD, and 2 gigs of RAM. If I could find a tablet with those specs for the same price I got the netbook, I'd be delirously happy. However, what I'm finding is they all either have small SS drives, (nothing wrong with SSD's they just don't have the room I want), or the ones with the specs I do want are hideously expensive. The Archos 9 came closest, but I decided to wait til next year when *maybe* there are a few more devices like that on the market and we know more about them.
