Nokia's new OS streamlines, syncs tablet platform with desktop Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia recently announced its Linux-based N810 tablet, and although the device
| is not yet widely available, the accompanying software is. The new operating
| system, designated Internet Tablet OS2008, is available as a free download
| for owners of the previous N800 model. In that rarest of all outcomes, the
| new release actually improves the older tablet -- it is faster, improves
| battery life, and should make it easier for developers to port applications
| over from desktop Linux.

Linutop v1.2: low-power Linux desktop Revisited
,----[ Quote ]
| Tech reviews are very much a snapshot process, making a decision after a
| relatively short period of time and of a single incarnation of the product.
| Useful, yes, but not an exact facsimile of living with something day in, day
| out that you’ve bought yourself.

SlashGear Review: Linutop's fanless Linux PC
,----[ Quote ]
| Much to my shame, Linux is something of a mystery to me. Actually,
| I think they should teach at least the basics of it in school
| computing classes, alongside English and at least one foreign
| language (though don't ask me about my French abilities either), but
| this is neither time nor place for my election campaigning. And so I
| look on with maudlin self-disgust at promises of Dell laptops with
| Linux pre-installed, or clever thumb-drives and Live CDs that offer
| a chance to fiddle with the OS without ruining your everyday copy of
| Windows; I inevitably fold when faced with some sort of command
| prompt. Perhaps, then, you?ll wonder why I was so keen to try the
| Linutop, a surprisingly compact and silent diskless computer that
| runs a specially tweaked version of xubuntu.
