This is actually a pretty cool little machine, it looks to be a total knock-off of the low end asus eee pc, except that they stuck an ARM in it.

Can anybody make out what that thing is to the top left of the right hand hinge on the screen portion ?

Feature list:

7" 800x480 TFT

2G nand flash

266 MHz ARM cpu (AK7802Q216)

64 MB DDR RAM

mic jack

earphone jack

WIFI

SD slot

3x USB

RJ 45 Ethernet port

7.4V 1800 mAh battery

charger

Software:

win CE ms word viewer

ms excel viewer

physical dimensions: 213.5mm x 141.8mm x 30.8mm

I wonder that the battery life is, ARM chips are pretty frugal.

Smart move on the SD slot - that and a USB flash drive would do the job for a lot of amateur photographers. There's a pretty good selection of software for ARM linux too.
