Canonical wants to put Ubuntu Linux on tablets

,----[ Quote ]
| The last time that Canonical developed an 
| edition of Ubuntu for mobile devices was in 2008 
| for mobile Internet devices, but it failed to 
| take off. The version that's being looked at for 
| tablets is Ubuntu 10.04 for servers, PCs and 
| netbooks.

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.
