New Unit Released Soon (don't give me a hard time)

In this economy people are becoming more frugal than ever about automation equipment. KEP intends to keep its prices low for its HMI products. But this also means offering new HMI's with lower prices.
And that is news how?
We recently released the MMI6056 (5.6" display) and MMI6070H (7" display) units. Their lower prices were due to the removal of the Ethernet circuitry. For those who do not use Ethernet to PLC communications, these units are ideal.
But what about the larger 10" plus units? What are we doing about them? Tell me something new please.

Thanks for your curiosity! Actually, we are going to release a new 10.4" unit soon. The unit has a 10.4 display with 800x600 resolution.
Hey! wait a second! Don't we already have a unit like that in the MMI8104XH!
Why, yes, we do but it is a little pricey with its Full instruction set CPU. It is more like a full PC. So, we are coming out with this new unit that has a RISC processor (same as the MMI8100). The simpler configuration allows us to sell it at a lower price.
Like how low?
The same as the MMI8100.
No way!
Way! Datasheet to be posted soon.
