Big Competition for the iPad?

"Check out this 14mm-thin contender: built by Pegatron and still at the prototype stage, the MasterPad looks to be the embodiment of Steve Ballmer's incoming armada of desirable Windows 7 tablets."

Tipping the scales at about 990 grams (around 2.2-pounds) in its prototype stage, the MasterPad may sport an 11.6-inch screen, 1366x768 resolution, 3G connectivity, webcam and 32/64GB SSD. Windows 7 (premium, apparently, from the video) and Android appear to be the OS options, and support for Flash and 1080p video is expected. Negatives, at least as described in the prototype are a 2-cell battery providing only 5-hours of use, and an Intel Atom 1.66GHz Atom N450 CPU. Looking at the video showing what I assume is the prototype, it appears reasonably thin, but has a massive onscreen keyboard. Arrival expected "in the coming months," and no pricing information was available.
