Sharp updates NetWalker to be Linux tablet

,----[ Quote ]
| In August last year Sharp introduced a new 
| device it referred to as an ultra-compact 
| netbook. It was named the NetWalker, and went 
| to market in September.

The Userâs Manifesto: in defense of hacking, modding, and jailbreaking

,----[ Quote ]
| These questions are natural, because a few 
| years ago they wouldnât even be possible. What 
| reason would you have for breaking open an 
| first-generation iPod, or hacking an original 
| Playstation? The question of âunauthorized 
| softwareâ on System 9 and Windows XP was 
| plainly moot. But as the capabilities of the 
| PC, console, and phone have expanded, so have 
| their magisteria. And as their power grew, so 
| did their chains. These chains were so light 
| before that we didnât notice them, but now 
| that they are not only visible but are 
| beginning to truly encumber our devices, we 
| must consider whether we are right to throw 
| them off. The answer, to me at least, seems 
| obvious: no company or person has the right to 
| tell you that you may not do what you like 
| with your own property.

Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 mini-laptop unboxed

,----[ Quote ]
| Whatâs a bit astonishing is that this tiny laptop running
| Ubuntu Linux isnât the smallest clamshell device out
| there. Jenn also takes the time to compare the NetWalker
| with the UMID mBook M1 which is even smaller and looks
| more like a smartphone with a larger-than-average keyboard
| tacked on. The NetWalker dwards the UMID, but itâs still
| miniscule compared with a typical netbook and my guess is
| that touch-typing is going to be out of the question.
