ARMed Armies Attack
,----[ Quote ]
| The onslaught of ARMed devices will
| continue indefinitely. Check out the
| smartphone/tablet Dell has announced. We
| still do not know the price of it but all
| they have to do to get some action is be in
| the neighborhood of the iPad which has
| fewer features: no Flash and no phone.

Lenovo tablets, smartbooks delayed for Android
,----[ Quote ]
| A pair of the most-anticipated mobile
| computers from this year's CES show were
| Lenovo's U1 Hybrid and Skylight smartbook.
| Both ran a custom widget-based Linux OS
| (sometimes also called Skylight), and were
| powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU. But
| since then, both devices seem to have
| fallen off the map, and now we think we
| know why. Both systems are getting a
| software overhaul, jumping to the Android
| platform in search of better performance
| and more usability.

Lenovo Delays U1 Hybrid, Skylight for Android

Lenovo switching to Google Android for their Tablet PCs?
,----[ Quote ]
| Switching to Google Android would benefit
| Lenovo in the long run. They would not have
| to spend too many resources on developing
| the core OS for their products. Android
| would also provide a massive support for
| third party apps that are available from
| the official market operated by Google.

Lenovo kills off the U1, switches internal OS out for Android in future devices

Lenovo moves Skylight, U1 to Android as iPad has free rein
,----[ Quote ]
| Lenovo settled questions around its ultra-
| mobile PCs on Friday by planing a switch in
| OS for the Skylight smartbook and the
| IdeaPad U1 detachable tablet. The two will
| drop Lenovo's in-house Linux OS for Android
| in what's treated as a reaction to "market
| conditions and user feedback." Future plans
| now involve creating an entire ecosystem of
| Android devices that would include devices
| like the LePhone.

Installing Linux On ARM-Based Netbooks?
,----[ Quote ]
| For example, the Augen E-Go. It is a
| widely touted theory that it is impossible
| to install Linux on one of these
| notebooks, replacing the commonly
| installed Windows CE operating system. The
| sub-$100 netbooks carry decent specs,
| including 533MHz ARM processor; 128MB DDR
| RAM; and a 2GB Flash drive, as well as
| most expected netbook components (USB, Wi-
| Fi, etc.). I find it hard to believe that
| a computer with these specs is impossible
| to hack and install Linux to, but Google
| searches have been largely unsuccessful in
| finding proper information. Do any
| Slashdot readers have experience in
| installing ARM Linux distros to these
| cheap netbooks like this? If so, what
| distros do they recommend?
