There's going to be several versions, 10", 12" and one other I can't remember. The 12" will run full windows 7 while the 10" is getting something cut down. In another video on that youtube channel they look at the 12" one which seems to have a docking keyboard which turns it into a laptop. Other details are scarce but the 12" seems to be running a CULV dual core processor.

I want one, might sell my netbook (for the $$ and to justify ANOTHER computer) and get a 10" one if the price is right (<$650).

What would you pay for one?

What features? i.e. SSD size, 3G, wifi blablabla.

I don't really have a use for 3G so I'd make use without but ideally I'd want a 32gb version because boy doesn't space get tight on anything smaller than that. The 32gb wifi iPad is going for $760 here and I wouldn't be willing to pay THAT much.

Discuss.

It runs Windows 7 so that puts me right off. Windows 7 is good on a full PC but it really isn't up to the task for an instant boot, low powered touch screen device.

this.

Dell Streak or iPad are much better suited. Android is very well suited for platforms like this.. so why they haven't used it i don't know!

I only partially agree, I think they're aiming at a mildly different market by including a full windows OS on the 12" version but in it's current state windows 7 won't make for an outstanding touch OS capable of rivaling the iPhone OS apple uses so heavily.

I'm interested in what the 10" will be running, it's windows based but looks far more touch oriented in the videos so I'd certainly like to have a go at it before giving up on the whole line.

I was supposed to go Computex last Thursday to have a go on one of these, but had to go and pick up the FF fliers instead...

Maybe windows mobile 7 based? And that isn't all that either!

Yeah there was talk about someone using an OS based on mobile 7, but could have just been talk about how to rival the iPhone OS.
