If you're excited about convertible tablets (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-review/) but can't wait for the IdeaPad Yoga (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/lenovos-ideapad-yoga-convertible-tablet-runs-windows-8-is-set/) to arrive, then perhapsNovero's Solana (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/01/noveros-solana-is-an-800-netbook-running-windows-7-and-android/) might give you a temporary fix. It's a dinky netbook (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/09/acer-will-stop-making-cheap-crap-but-keep-selling-netbooks-dis/) (yes, netbook (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/14/noverros-solana-is-a-cedar-trail-inspiron-duo-from-the-future/)) that runs bothWindows 7 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/windows-7-review/) and Android (http://www.engadget.com/tag/gingerbread/), but you can flip the display over in its frame to turn it into a tablet PC. It's packing a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Atom (http://www.engadget.com/tag/CedarTrail/) N2600, Intel GMA 3600 IGP Graphics, 2GB of RAM and a choice of 32 or 64GB of solid-state storage. Fortunately, it looks like it won't be long before we get to clench it to our chests since it's now been given the thumbs-up from the assembled experts down in theFCC's (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/galaxy-pocket-fcc/) underground bunker. For around $800, you too can pretend it's 2009 all over again, just remember to bring the Flo Rida.
