Now that is good news.

Two questions:

1.
Here (under Tech Specs)
http://bit.ly/bdr0Cz
it specs the 10" tablet with an ARMADA 168. Why did not you go with that 
processor? Would not that be cheaper?

2.
What happened to the bigger display and the touch panel plan? As I see 
on the pictures the machines have the old 7.5" display.

Thanks!
