Gigabyte’s entry to the UMPC market looks impressive. We spotted one yesterday during the Intel Atom launch, along with half a dozen other netbooks and nettops. This could be the Gigabyte M912V tablet with touch screen panel.

Wasn’t able to meet the reps from Gigabyte so I sent email yesterday to ask for availability and suggested retail price.

@Lindt Dale — not directly. You use the ExpressCard as placeholder for the SIM card.
