For all you fans of the satirical and lazy little white dog, Onkyo has recently launched a Windows 7 tablet - the TW117A4 - with a limited edition Snoopy and Peanuts theme on it's UI. Not only can you dress like Charlie Brown for your next dress-up party, you will now also be able to make all your friends say "you've taken this too far" by whipping out your special snoopy tablet, and do your best to convince them to scroll through Snoopy strips on the snoopylicious device with you. This nutty Peanutty tablet is powered by an ATOM CPU N450 and has a 10.1-inch (WSVGA) touchscreen. I wonder if Snoop Doggy-Dogg will be sporting one of these bad-boyz anytime soonz?

Use underpowered processor: check. Use overpowered operating system: check. Recycle iPhone stylings: check. Rename it to something similar: check. There you have it, an iPad clone called 'ePad' that may only be barely more streamlined an experience than rollerskating on gravel.
It features a 10.1 inch touch screen with a resolution of 1024x600, also supporting Wifi, 3G, GPS, the rotating G-sensor and GPS. All of this on an Atom N450 1.66g processor using an integrated GMA 3150. Hard drive sizes range from 160 to 320 GB, there can be 1G or 2G memory - not really the sort of specs to load Windows 7 onto but, alas, the developers of this product, the likes of which are by now fairly familiar, have decided to go full steam ahead with Windows 7, all of this for the price of $394 USD.

The people over at Shanzai were able to get their hands on a new INKIA 500, an Atom based MID, with a 5" touch screen and Windows XP OS. This rather ugly looking device will be selling below the $300 mark, i honestly feel that within the next couple of months, many similar devices are going to be flooding out of China and we will probably see them being below the $200 price range.

TableKiosk have never been the prettiest in their field and they're continuing firm on that with their latest UMPC and tablet.
But, the 7 inch a7330D and a7230XD and the 12.1 inch Sahara NetSlate a230T have all at least adopted the Atom CPU which means they should run a lot nicer than they look.
See the link below for the specs.

The Duros 8404 rugged Tablet PC looks made for outdoors in its bump-ready shell but the latest model seals the deal with its 8.4 inch SVGA resistive touchscreen. Not just any old touchscreen, the LED sunlight-viewable display with 120-degree viewing angle increasing the brightness threefold from previous models.
The update is also the first to be powered by Intel's 1.1GHz Atom processor which is housed in the solid aluminium chassis along with the non-rotating disc drive.
