Hands-On: EROS, a slate tablet you can love

We previously saw the ExoPC which might have been either inspired by the iPhone or inspired the design of the new iPad. Here's another tablet that does that one better, and it even has a home button! The EROS tablet has its power button were the iPad's home button is located and has the same black bezel surrounding the screen plus a fron-facing camera and some activity lights. EROS

  • 10.1" 1366 x 768 touchscreen
  • 1.6oGHz Intel Atom N270
  • 1GB or 2GB RAM
  • 160GB or 320GB HDD
  • Windows 7 or XP
  • SIM slot
  • 2 x USB, SD card reader, CF card reader
  • 2.5 hour battery on XP, 1.5 hour battery on Win7

The CF card reader is something not even netbooks often have but is a nice edition and should please photogs out there. The downer is the battery life and everyone knows that a tethered tablet is not very nice to use. It goes for 2999RMB or US$441. Hit the link for a hands on video.
