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-astrocyctabIt'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).
