Acer’s Aspire Timeline 1810T gets the tablet treatment, morphs into 1820P
Like Acer’s Aspire 11.6-inch, 1.4GHz ULV Timeline 1810T (aka the 1410) but wish that T stood for Tablet? It’s your lucky day, sailor, as Acer has created the 1820P. No, we don’t know what the P stands for, but this new model shares the internals of the 1810T/1410, adding a pivoting (maybe that’s it) screen and room for a stylus in there somewhere. Reports are that everything else is the same, other than what we presume will be a price bump, and what we know is a 300g weight increase. You’ve been hitting the gym; you can handle it.

Apple ‘Tablet PC’ manufactured by Foxconn, shipping in Q1?
It’s been what, five whole days since we’ve heard any fresh rumors on the Apple Tablet. That ends today with DigiTimes claiming that Foxconn (aka, Hon Hai Precision) not Quanta has secured manufacturing rights to Apple’s “tablet PC.” Its sources claim that the device will focus on “e-book functionality” and hit the market in Q1 with initial shipments set in the 300,000 to 400,000 range — a modest, but healthy number when you consider that Apple sells about 2.6 million Macs per quarter. DigiTimes claims it will have a 10.6-inch panel (not 10.7- or 9.6-inch) and that the panels could be sourced from Innolux Display, not WinTek. If nothing else, at least the Taiwan-based rumor monger has quit calling the device a netbook as all these rumors coalesce around a Q1 launch.

Gateway’s Windows 7-boasting EC18T tablet images, specs leak onto the screen
Hey, what’s this attractive looking dude? Well, from the looks of it, it’s Gateway’s not-yet-announced or previously spied tablet PC. A tipster with access to a seemingly infinite number of photos of this bad boy also shot over a spec sheet of the purported EC18T, and here’s what we’re looking at. This 11.6-incher is going to boast an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a Mobile Intel GS45 Express graphics chipset, and it’ll run either Windows 7 Home Premium or Basic. Of course, none of this is official information, and we have no info on pricing or availability yet. Hit the gallery after the break for a plethora of photos.

Alpha 680 Android netbook spotted, still unavailable
While all the other kids on the block are letting themselves become duly distracted by Google Chrome OS, at least Skytone is still out there in the trenches, fighting to get its Android-powered Alpha 680 netbook to market. Initially it looked like this one would be making the scene sometime this summer, and although this has not come to pass, the OEM (Airis) is still strutting it in front of vendors and threatening us with an eventual release. According to Le Journal du Geek, who managed to get its hands on one and snap plenty of pics, the device is still “not really stable.” (Take your time, guys…) Hit that read link for plenty of glamor shots of the this stark white, 7-inch resistive touchscreen wonder — you’ll be glad you did.
