We know, from the side that tablet up there looks a lot like Toshiba’s still unnamed 10-inch Honeycomb tablet, but it’s actually the company’s future Windows 7 slate, which we were told today won’t be hitting the market until the second half of 2011.
The model Toshiba had on display was behind glass and wasn’t actually powered on, but we did confirm that it will have an 11.6-inch display and will be powered by Intel’s Atom Oak Trail processor.
That’s all we were able to get out of the company, but apparently that very tablet was on display at CES, and Notebook Italia gathered there that it will have 64GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. Read the rest of this entry »

Acer has made something very clear here at CES — it’s going to enter the tablet market much like it entered the netbook one, with lots of options. In addition to the Android tablets (it’s got 4.8-, 7-, and 10-inch versions) and the dual-screen Iconia, the company will be bringing its 10.1-inch Windows 7 tablet to the US market for about $550 in the coming months.
Just as we had heard, the tablet will use AMD’s Fusion platform and will come with a keyboard dock. We got a chance to check out the whole package and the dock / tablet fit together in a unique fashion — the tablet and keyboard are surrounded by magnetic borders that latch onto each other.

But this time, you don’t have to head over to your favorite torrent tracker to get it. Microsoft just began its Windows 7 Beta Customer Preview Program, which means you can head on over to your favorite internet, download the ISO, burn a DVD and start living the ultra-fantastic lifestyle of a Windows 7 user.
The Beta expires August 1, 2009, and Microsoft is of course pilling on the caveats in case this destroys your computer with fire — and limiting this first run of downloads to 2.5 million users.
We’re hearing reports of sluggish downloads at the moment, but we’re sure with a bit of patience you can be rocking this OS — or, you know… find it on the torrents.
