ExoPC Accepting Preorders for Windows 7 Tablet

The tablet market continues to inch closer to a competitive field instead of just a one-man show dominated by Apple. ExoPC, for example, is now taking preorders for its upcoming Windows 7-based slate.
Preorders were originally limited to 1,200, but now it's open to everyone. The 32GB version will run you CAD $649 (about $625) while the 64GB is being sold for CAD $749 (about $720). Both models come with up to 160MB/s SanDisk P4 mini-SSDs and a rated battery life of up to four hours.
One change since the last time we heard about these tablets is that GPS has been pulled from the 64GB version. ExoPC said it wasn't able to get it to work right on the prototype and doesn't have enough time to track down another provider, so they're dumping GPS altogether, at least for now.
Enticed? More preordering info here.

My "Order now" finger is getting itchy. "wait for XMas" I keep telling myself, but the tablets and the new SONY e-readers are singing a siren song to me " Buy me, buy me"...

Correct, ExoPC has made more than one tablet available for preorder, hence they're accepting preorders from the public. Alternately, we could have spelled it with a dash like Amazon does.

Archos just put up today the 'Archos 32 Internet Tablet' for sale on their store. It technically is quite small for a tablet but larger versions are inbound. please review that :)

I think the Archos 9 "pctablet" with W7 is interesting too, or their 10" android tablet too, but I don't think the 10" android tablet is available yet.
AFAIK you can buy the 9" W7 tablet now though, because it says "buy now". Also, it's only about $400-$450

I noticed that. the rest of the Internet tablet is due before november though, which is not that long.
