[plug] Linux tablets.

[WolfBite]

Hanvon bc10 touchpad  (also samsung galaxy s :)

Being a glutton for punishment
I wanted something to play with

getting linux install is EASY :)
no touchscreen yet and wireless a pain 
(but can use a belkin 54g usb for wirless, anyone know of another wireless usb that just works?)

ubuntu 10.4 (64bit)
ubuntu netbook
both where installed via wubi

but can run linux livecd off usb dvd no probs

anyone else tinkering??

BTW, good to see at least one other very wise N900 owner on the list (besides myself of course)....

We doing a head count? +1 Can't really compare it to an iPad though.
I have to say the iPad web browser is amazingly good for an ARM-powered device.  Feels faster than the N900. Not good enough to counter the pervasive evil that forbids you running apps that Steve has not approved, like firefox or Flash, or VoIP :-)


Given the ipad's apparent success, we should see plenty of Linux-capable tablets coming soon.
But what Linux? The Nokia and Intel collaboration on Meego looks promising.
