 yes i know!  but the photo is definitely of an 8.9in Chitech
CT-PC89E, and it used to have, in the description subject, "Lunix and
Linux OS".  that was changed to "Wince Compatible (not supplied)"
within a week.

 my guess is that they cut/paste an existing 7in machine's alibaba
description, threw in some extra words to make it like it was the
right machine.
