It's like someone has been listening to my requests for a 7" convertible tablet that runs Android :-) Now they'd just fix Android's software problems. And, with an ARM CPU, you might even be able to make it multi-boot with Mer, or OpenPandora, for a really nice general purpose machine and/or game machine. I hope that a) it comes to the US, and b) the RAM and Storage are easily handled with after-market add-ons (like an easy to upgrade SSD module or something). Nice.

A bit bigger than Gameboy/PSP/DS but maybe that's a good thing if the gaming area is bigger and hopefully better. Let's just hope it's not too heavy and that it does sell in countries other than China and as cheaply as that!

This is just like the little mouse-replacement pads found on most laptops. I'm not saying for sure that this device doesn't have a touchscreen; I just don't see any evidence of it listed here. It has plenty of input buttons around the screen so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the primary method of input when in tablet mode and this guy has no touchscreen at all.

Yeah, not the best specks but it's bare minimum or running the interwebs and that's it. I mean- I wouldn't assume that anyone who has half a brain and a net book would want to play World Of Warcraft, Counter Strike, or any other type of game on a screen the size of a peanut.
