Albatron are preparing to launch their Tee PC, a slate-style Tablet PC netbook. Running Windows CE, the Tee PC has a 7-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, anaemic 400MHz ARM926 CPU, 128MB RAM and just 128MB of flash storage; thankfully the latter can be expanded with an SD card.
Connectivity includes WiFi and Bluetooth, and there’s a choice of VGA or 1.3-megapixel webcams. Despite the relatively slow processor the slate is capable of playing back VGA quality video at 30fps, or alternatively H.264 and MPEG4 content. No runtime is suggested for the 10.8Whr battery.
The specs aren’t going to blow anyone away (not even rock them gently in their shoes), but the portability might: the Tee PC measures just 188 x 113 x 13mm and weighs a mere 343g. A docking station – with USB, built-in speakers and audio ports – will be included in the package.
Albatron are yet to announce pricing or an actual release date. If they can make it cheap enough, the compact dimensions might just win them some interest.

“Despite the relatively slow processor”
Hey you’re trying to compare a RISC processor clock rate to a x86 processor?
My ancient 233MHz RiscPC with a ARM chip in it could web browse.
Please don’t compare the two, you’re just showing off your ignorance. :-))

You have missed the point.
400MHz might be slow if this thing was running Windows XP but it isn’t
It’s running Windows CE and for that OS, 400MHz is excellent. Indeed even the latest generation of smart phones (which are also based on CE) are only just pushing 500MHz and they have a phone to run as well.
As long as the price is right, this will be mine.
