Hardware details for the EP101TC were always in short supply, with ASUS only saying that it had a 10-inch touchscreen, measures 12.2mm thick and weighs 675g. According to NetbookNews.de the company are currently using Android 2.2 Froyo for their prototypes, and will be shipping samples to carriers in December; that certainly indicates 3G-enabled models will be on the cards.
