You discovered this just now? It's been in vaporware for (almost literally now) years - with the vapor specs being upgraded every few months to keep the nerds drooling.
Here you go - one of the earlier announcements. Check the date.

At first I was like 'that's cool!' but now - since it's been in gestation before even the Joojoo was officially announced - I'll believe it when I see it actually shipping.
Besides, what relegated the 'iPod killers' of 2003-2007 to also-rans is what is also going to relegate the Android tablets: Specs are unimportant except where it's readily apparent to *any* user - and usability / superior firmware is key - it seems to me that the manufacturers of these things never learn. And iOS deals the smackdown to any Android (which is just a poor man's iOS really, unlike something actually different like Windows Phone 7) tablet in that regard, now or in the near future.
