Ipad antithesis spotted in the wild

,----[ Quote ]
| The system currently runs Debian Linux but 
| the user claims that loading Ubuntu results 
| in a slightly better battery life. Either 
| way, the whole shebang with the extended 
| battery, weighs around 800 grams. Unlike 
| the Ipad, however, it has peripheral ports, 
| including a working VGA output, which given 
| the lack of screen is pretty important.

Linux tablet arrives in the UK

,----[ Quote ]
| TABLET UPSTART Fusion Garage has announced 
| the availability of its Joojoo tablet in 
| the UK, beating the cappuccino firm's 
| delayed Ipad launch outside the US.
| 
| The firm claims that the 12.1-inch tablet 
| is the world's largest capacitive 
| touchscreen device. Beneath the screen is 
| an Intel 1.6GHz Atom processor and an 
| Nvidia ION chipset, making the Joojoo 
| fairly spritely. Like Apple's Ipad, there 
| is no keyboard and the battery is not 
| removable, however the similarities end 
| there.
