Like Foxconn, ECS has mostly moved away from its branded hardware business and instead now focuses on building products for the OEM channel. And come September, clients in the U.S. and Europe will start to receive 8-inch versions of the company's 9.7-inch E-Ink based prototype ebook reader.
Not a whole lot is known about the upcoming ebook reader, though a company rep did mention that it will come equipped with a Marvell CPU and PVI E-Ink e-paper. It will also sport 3G, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX support.
ECS also had on display at Computex a 10.1-inch tablet, the A102. Essentially a netbook in slate form, the A102 features an Intel Atom N450 processor (1.66GHz, 533MHz FSB, 512KB L2 cache), up to 2GB of DDR2-667 (it's unclear whether or not the RAM is user-upgradeable), 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G, two USB ports, SD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows 7 Home Basic OS options.

And so it starts... Just the concept I'm interested in; netbook or notebook slate combo, Windows, storage, usb, etc. Sounds far more practicle than an ipad.
