[aprssig] $60 WinBook TW700 Tablet -- Webpage With More Info Up

[Gary D. Schwartz]

Just to confuse things more, there is also a TW801 model tablet, 
which is the same size as the 800, and the TW101, a 10" model. These 
two models have improved specs over the 700 and 800.

The full size USB port is a host port, not a client port as seen on 
many tablets.
