NEC developing low cost netbook tablet

Netbook computers are the rage right now, with the small portable laptops popping up in a lot of places.  NEC may be stepping into the market, but with a twist - a netbook tablet.

The specs on the tablet read about like other current netbooks, including a 1.6GHz Atom processor and 1GB of Ram (but with a 80gb HD). Currently there is no other information, but if this launches and the price is right (i.e. cheap enough), NEC could be creating a new NetTablet market, not unlike what the EEE PC did with netbooks.

And yes, I do think that it looks remarkably like an Etch-A-Sketch with the knobs removed.  But I would love to have one (the tablet, not the modified Etch-A-Sketch - I already have one of those).
