We already knew the G10IL would be hitting Europe in September or October. But now it looks like it should be available stateside at about the same time. The G10IL sports a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 8GB of flash storage or an 80GB hard drive, up to 2GB of RAM, an 8.9 inch or 10.2 inch display, Windows XP or Linpus Linux Lite and an optional 3G data card.

The cheapest model available in the US will cost just $399 and will run Linux and have an 8GB SSD. This puts it squarely in competition with the Acer Aspire One, which has similar specs and pricing.

What sets the G10IL apart is that it won’t wear the ECS name. ECS is working with other companies to distribute the computer in the US. It’s likely that you’ll be able to find pricier models with an EDGE, HSUPA, or HSPDA card sold by companies like wireless carriers. If we’re lucky, we’ll even see companies try to subsidize the price which could make the 3G capable models even cheaper than the standalone unit (until you factor in subscription fees).

The Classmate PC is built using an Intel reference design, and is basically Intel’s answer to the OLPC XO Laptop. The machine is primarily targeted at educational markets and developing nations. The model on display at Computex was manufactured by ECS, the sole Taianese manufacturer, although other companies in other countries will likely introduce the same product with different names.

In the US, CTL sells the Classmate directly to consumers under the CTL 2go PC name with a starting price of $399. Currently the CTL 2go PC ships with a 900MHz Intel Celeron CPU, but hopefully we’ll see a version using the power-saving Atom CPU soon.
