Hi

Just got an email from Maplin - take a look, it looks like an Excel, but it's called Yarvik

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

Yep, that's right (well you can get some hacked versions to run on that CPU, but it so c**p - it can not be classed as flash, IMHO)

This one looks familiar too!
http://www.ebuyer.com/341447-sumvision-cyclone-astro-tablet-pc-sumv-astrocyctab

It's call the Sumvision Cyclone Astro (from Ebuyer currently £109.99)

The only obvious difference I can see between this and the Excel is that it has a higher screen resolution (800 x 600).
