It appears that there is a new tablet/slate coming in March that is based on netbook hardware. Several different vendors are selling the same basic device under various names and with various options. They all look like the same W1070 that has been on the Wirelession web site for a while now. The device as listed on the ExoPC site is supposedly going to be $599 with Windows 7 Home Premium (full touch support) and 2GB of ram. I must admit that I will be one of the first to order one of these when they become available. There is certainly room for improvement (N450 processor, ION, larger battery, etc) but this appears to be a good first attempt in my opinion. There also seems to be an empty mini-PCIe slot, a TV tuner would be nice! What are your thoughts on this device?
