AT COMPUTEX 2010 Asustek Eee Pad product manager Alda Yang gave us a few minutes of her time to explain to The INQUIRER the features of the company's 10-inch EP101TC tablet.
The 10-inch Eee Pad EP101TC weighs 675g and is 12.2mm thick. It's powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and runs Windows Embedded Compact 7.
A larger 12-inch Eee Pad EP121 runs Windows 7 Home and can play multimedia files, be an e-reader, display Word and Excel files, access the Internet and make video calls. The EP121 can also be docked to a keyboard that contains an auxiliary battery and delivers more than 10 hours of battery life. µ

Its a tablet not a full blown PC. Give them time as technology evolves we will have a power of a full blown pc in your pocket. Its getting there.
Is she holding a mirror? Using this tabled outdoors seems almost impossible. Is there an actual tablet with a none-glare AMOLED screen?
A quick google seems to show that "Windows Embedded Compact 7" is not "Windows 7" but Windows CE - which I thought had turned into Windows Phone 7, and then died.
So apparently the product with this on it is just a really big PocketPC, and not a real PC.
Oh well. Someone else said that the real Windows one of these is actually Home Premium, and it ought to be. Other Tablets come with business editions of Windows, which in so many many ways means, no fun. And blicking expensive. So good riddance to that.
Up until the mention of the OS.. If your going to run Windows 7, at least make it Pro version not the crappy home / embedded. But would rather have a nice Ubuntu on it :)
