Yeap, I've just ordered one for myself. Atom processor, 7inch touch screen, 1gig of ram, ethernet and n wireless. it's hackable to so you could put ubuntu tablet on it. All that for £50 with free delivery!

 

It'll look cool at the very least!

Being a Linux newb (wow cant remember the last time I used that word lol) can someone with a bit more experience simplify the instructions here - UNE Installation - magician so a windows user can understand them?

 

For example can I only do this in a linux enviroment and if so is there a live CD or something that can fulfill the task?

 

Thanks

Justed picked one up this arvo from the o2 shop near me. On the shelf at £100, but they are already reduced to 49.99. A weekend of hacking awaits...

What would i need O2 wise to use one of these?

 

An O2 SIM (PAYG or Contract) to use the Calender and Messaging functions, think you also have to register online to use the functions.

 

All other features can be used right out of the box, picked mine up yesterday I haven't hacked it yet so it's just running in it's standard configuration.

 

It's a good piece of kit if you can look beyond the poor touchscreen and WiFi (it randomly drops the connection even though other devices have no problems.

 

I'm sure it's full potential will be unlocked once its been hacked!

im seriously tempted...

 

I think for £50 it's worth a punt, I wouldn't have considered this at £149.99 :eek:

 

The App Store is a nice touch although it does need more support, most of the apps on there are games other than Google Maps, Google Calendar and YouTube.

Have you successfully hacked it then?

 

Edit: just read your post above :doh:
