Sascha from Netbooknews.de (and more recently the English version, Netbooknews.com) is down on the ground in Taipei checking out the latest and greatest from Computex. A quick video from Sascha shows us an upcoming laptop form-factor device running an interesting combination of hardware and software.
The ECS T800, as it is being called, is a device that looks much like the size and shape of the Sony Vaio P [Portal page]. It is using a Texas Instruments OMAP3 3440 CPU running at only 800MHz or optionally the OMAP3 3450 running at 1GHz. Afraid that 800MHz or 1GHz won’t be enough to power XP? Good thing the T800 runs Android. That’s right, the T800 is purportedly going to be running the Google Android operating system. Have a run down of the stats as listed at Computex:
- Android OS
- OMAP3 3440 (800MHz) or 3450 (1GHz)
- 8.1” LCD
- 512MB of RAM
- 2.5” HDD/SSD
- 2x USB 2.0
- 1x Card reader
- 2x Mini-PCIe slots reserved for WWAN (HSPDA & WiMAX)
- Integrated 0.3MP or 1.3MP camera
- 800 grams
- 246 x 121 x 20 mm
Take a look at a video of a mock-up of the device below. It seems to close incredibly flush and looks quite sleek. I doubt that the screen will be as glossy on the production model as we see on the mock-up in the video.
