More info here: http://www.2gopc.com/ at the manufacturers site. It's actually built by Lenovo who IBM sold their laptop division to.

Just talked to one of the managers at the company. The CTL2Go actually has a 1.6 ghz processor versus the T91 1.3ghz process which makes it slightly faster for the same price. They are also in stock! I've asked them to mail me a unit to evaluate and they are going to see if they can. I asked to get it asap so I can take it to the conference in Vegas in 2 weeks so you guys can see it.

It's cool Michael, seems like someone comes out with a new tablet daily.  I'm in the wrong line of work, I think!  Cheesy

Yup, I guess I have a few tablets I'm waiting for now to test out! It's funny, it's originally designed for kids, but that actually makes it perfect for inspections. It drop & water 'resistant' and the nice handle makes it easy to carry.

Yeah the handle can be removed but I think for carrying it from room to room it would be useful.

Ouch! I think the plastic handle would break so we don't have to worry about you hurting yourself Bob Smiley

I called the CLT2go guys and the person that I talked to said in about two weeks they should be offering windows 7 instead of xp for the operating system. Also he said if I waited until Feb tey are coming out with a new version that is a little bigger. The downfall is the small keyboard, unless your that BK commercial guy. SO the new one will have a bigger screen and larger keyboard for adults instead of children(and the Buger King guy). I think I will wait until FEB!

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks Sean. So it sounds like CLT2go and ASUS will both have a 10" version out soon!

After looking at the site information, I have a question.

If I got one of these, should I go with XP pro or the Home Edition?

Got it, love , and so did the 50 inspectors who wanted to buy it from me at the conference last week. Get the home edition, there's no reason for you guys to get pro.
