In the meantime, though, you can check out the current xPC and xPad prototypes in our hands-on after the break. We're excited to see a working prototype, though, and we've been promised a more complete version this summer in Taipei.

#XPAD TABLET WINDOWS#
The version we saw today was running Windows 8, and the experience seemed solid enough, though it's clear that the company's prototypes still have a long way to go before they're ready for a final nod of approval. All of the other components fit within the xPC, which slides into the xPad's rear. Whether your mobile workers prefer a slate tablet (XSLATE L10), a tablet with a rigid-handle and built-in barcode reader option (XPAD L10), or a 2-in-1 laptop/tablet with a full-featured keyboard (XBOOK L10), the functional flexibility of the Zebra L10 ensures that your workers have the right computing tool for their job. There's a 1,366 x 768-pixel capacitive touchscreen, a front-facing camera and a battery that Ice expects will keep the duo running for six to eight hours. The 9.7-inch tablet is a less polished version of the ASUS PadFone Station, but it's expected to be very affordable, at just $200 (plus another $200 for the xPC). In the meantime, Ice Computer reps have made the trip out to CES to demo the first functional xPad tablet, which is one of several platforms for the xPC, a smartphone-sized device that contains a complete computer and slides into desktop or home theater components (xDock), laptops (xTop) and the xPad we saw today. The company is targeting a ship date in late summer, with a production version expected at Computex in June. Under most circumstances, we'd label its flagship xPC as vaporware, but there does seem to be progress, which gives us some hope that the modular computer solution will finally be available sometime this year.

We've seen plenty of Ice Computer at various trade shows in recent years, most recently at Computex in Taipei, but the company has yet to ship a product. Ice Computer demos modular xPC with working 97inch xPad tablet, we go handson at CES video
