It does seem strange that the Beijing Peace East Technology Porient H9 has only 64MB Flash ROM and 128MB RAM. That's the same memory config found in the 770, yet in every other respect they've maxed out the hardware functionality with a better (faster) Intel (now Marvel?) PXA270 520mhz XScale CPU (although in several respects I'd say this CPU is a generation behind that found in the N800).

Nice big 4000mAh battery though - going to need it with the 7" screen, GPS and 20GB HDD sucking down all the juice.

It's double the weight of the 770/N800, which is hardly suprising considering it has a much larger screen, battery and of course mechanical storage - to think my N800 has almost the same storage capacity as the H9 yet my 16GB of storage on 2x 8GB SDHC cards weighs nothing in comparison to the H9's 20GB HDD!

Will be very interested to see how this device fares - it's not likely to trouble Nokia in the immediate future as I guesstimate the H9 will retail for close to $600+ and is most likely a competitor for Windows-based UMPCs rather than ultra-light tablets. However if the H9 is successful, who is to say Beijing won't consider a reduced size H9 in future?
