The Alpha 680 backs up its i.MX31 SoC with 128 to 256MB DDR2 memory, and 1 to 4GB flash. An SD slot is available for expansion. Judging from the photos above, the 7-inch WVGA touchscreen appears to swivel and fold down into a tablet. I/O includes Ethernet, dual USB ports, WiFi, and optional cellular connections via USB dongles, says Skytone. A video camera is also said to be optional. In addition to the QWERTY keyboard, the device offers a touchpad and dual game keys.
