Kohjinsha small cheap tablet PC
« on: 15 April, 2008, 07:43:30 pm »


In the vein of the EEE, it's an SCC (small cheap computer, yes, they have their own acronym now) with a swiveling tablet form-factor.  This is very nearly my perfect device - a dumb cheap Flybook - and with a launch price of around £300 I'm very tempted.

What are the Linux tablet options out there?
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

Though I have heard that you prolly need to do a bit of "hacking" to get linux to run on a tablet pc.

I've looked at Kohjinsha before, the SA- series caught my eye a while back, but they're way more expensive.  The embedded Linux OESF forum covers this kind of stuff, and even though the guys there are mainly Zaurus users, they have a variety of bits of kit.
