A tipster with access to a seemingly infinite number of photos of this bad boy also shot over a spec sheet of the purported EC18T, and here’s what we’re looking at. This 11.6-incher is going to boast an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a Mobile Intel GS45 Express graphics chipset, and it’ll run either Windows 7 Home Premium or Basic. Of course, none of this is official information, and we have no info on pricing or availability yet. Hit the gallery after the break for a plethora of photos.

This could be the netbooklet I have been waiting for. A chinese company , Hanvon or Hanwang will being shipping a tablet running Windows 7 operating system with a Atom processor inside. This 8.9-inch, two USB port-sporting device can pull off multi-touch pinching and zooming and outfitted in a rather becoming all-aluminum case. It could make for a pretty desirable movie-playing machine on the go, provided it has the battery prowess for such tasks.

When a company filed their product documents with the FCC, you know it is on its way to the US market, and hopefully that would mean local availability soon.

No product photos so far but the netbook tablet is predicted to spot a 8.9”, 1024 x 600 touchscreen which can be folded down in the traditional convertible tablet style.

I have been trying out Windows 7 on my X61 tablet Thinkpad and am loving the new tablet features. Handwriting recognition is generally better than that in Vista with many new usability improvements. As soon as I get myself a tablet netbook, I will be sure to install and run Win 7, and give you guys a quick review.

Now all we need is a multi-touch tablet netbook! Fingers crossed…

One of the netbooks that I hope to see tomorrow at the IT show is this convertible from Gigabyte. I always wanted a 10” tablet seeing how the 12 incher and beyond are abit bulky and heavy to hold and write on for prolong hours.

In case you missed Gigabyte’s CeBIT debut, here’s a quick recap from SlashGear.

The Gigabyte Touch Note M1028 has an 10.1-inch swiveling touchscreen, comes with up to Intel’s 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor and has a 160GB hard-drive.

Four versions of the convertible were announced, two - the M1028M and M1028G - with a WSVGA 1024 x 600 display, and two - the M1028X and M1028P - with a WXGA 1366 x 768 display.  Each has 1GB of DDR2 memory (2GB maximum) and the Intel 945GSE graphics chipset, except for the M1028P which has the HD-capable GN40 chipset.

Connectivity includes WiFi a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, and in the case of the M1028G there’s 3.5G and WiMAX connectivity.  All four run Windows XP Home, have three USB 2.0 ports and an ExpressCard slot, and there’s a choice of two batteries: a 4,500mAh 4-cell pack or a 7,650mAh 6-cell pack.  Weight with the former is 1.3kg, while with the latter it’s 1.48kg.

No word on pricing for the Gigabyte tablets, nor which models we might see in the US and when.  Still, our brief hands-on with them suggested they have very usable keyboards and responsive touchscreens, and the extra real-estate over the original M912 is welcome when you’re dealing with bigger on-screen buttons for your finger to poke at.

What do you think? Would you mind a 10” tablet?
