The new Sahara Tablet PC range from TabletKiosk, that we previewed early last month, has finally been officially announced.  Not much in the way of new information, with the processor options ranging from the Celeron M ULV 423 right up to Core Duo L2500′s, RAM from half a gig upwards and a choice of Windows XP Pro or Vista Business.

While the two basic models, the i412T and i440T, have passive touchscreens, the i440D range-topper sports a dual-mode passive & active digitiser for the best of both worlds.  Shipping will begin early March this year; price breakdown after the cut.
