Been waiting to order an ExoPC here in the US of A? Well, today is your day -- ExoPC has just announced that it's teamed up with Microsoft's very own store to bring you the 11.6-inch Windows 7 tablet. There's only one configuration at the moment, but $699 buys you a rather thin 0.5-inch slate with 64GB of flash storage, an Intel Atom N450 processor, 2GB of RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium with ExoPC's unique UI layer, and a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera
The tablets are being sold in Microsoft own store. It makes a lot of sense for competing with Apple.
Apples success is built on the sale of a complete solution including hardware. And everything is kept nice and locked. Microsoft has made a benchmark and acted upon it. The system might be somewhat more flexible than Microsoft bargained with since it has been hacked and can be "delivered" with Android 2.2!
