Customers will also find it useful to pick out their own usage scenarios and to see what type of device fits with their requirements. Related posts:

X2 iTablet – Another Win 7, Netbook-based Tablet

Bloggers have been getting excited about those ‘tablets’ again.

The X2 (available in 10 and 12″ formats) is nothing more than a 1.6Ghz Atom device running a desktop OS without a keyboard. In effect, a large format UMPC.
