Swift i-Touch convertible tablet-style netbook hits the UAE
While 10 inch netbooks with Intel Atom processors are a dime a dozen, there are relatively few models that can serve double duty as touchscreen tablets. Aside from the Asus Eee PC T101MT, Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t, Gigabyte TouchNote, and a few Classmate PC-based systems, I can’t think of any other models available in the US. […]

Taiwanese PC maker Quanta produces computers that are sold by companies ranging from Apple to Lenovo.

But as Wireless Goodness notes, it appears that the tablet has 802.11b/g/n […]
