Hiya people,

Do you have any thoughts about tablets? I have been googling around and
so far have found one on-market (very expensive):
http://www.ekoore.com/web/en/product/tablet-2/dylan-2/overview-10.html
and one soon to be released (quite cheap):
http://www.pengpod.com/


I am an expectant future owner of a pengpod

Thanks, well, I'll keep an eye on that Pengpod, it sounds interesting.

That is probably it at the moment. Ubuntu on the Nexus 7 is really just a
proof of concept. There is the KDE based Vivaldi tablet which uses a tablet
UI called Plasma on top of the Mer mobile Linux distribution, and that is
more likely to be the path that tablets take. That's not to say that a
fully functioning Linux desktop distro won't work on a tablet but to see
what it's like, try running a VNC session from a desktop on a tablet and
you'll see how many things have to be made to work properly on a
touchscreen.

[ubuntu-uk] Tablets for Ubuntu

[Rowan Berkeley]

Hiya people,

Do you have any thoughts about tablets? I have been googling around and 
so far have found one on-market (very expensive):

http://www.ekoore.com/web/en/product/tablet-2/dylan-2/overview-10.html
and one soon to be released (quite cheap):
http://www.pengpod.com/
