5 reasons why open source will click in 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| In my last article on open source, I put
| together the reasons why shanzhai
| manufacturers favor open source platforms, and
| how they can enable them to initiate more
| legitimate business. The current technology
| trend of tablets makes me feel that 2010, the
| year of tablets is as much the year of open
| source, and the two combined may provide a
| breakthrough for shanzhai manufacturers.
|
| [...]
|
| 4. Legitimate business: Google Android is
| shaping up to be the first widely accepted
| open source operating system that doesnât have
| a fringe element tag associated with it. Itâs
| a legitimate business option. Whilst in the
| past the motivation of a shanzhai manufacturer
| in offering a Linux option was more about
| offering an option that didnât include a
| pirated Microsoft product, now their choice of
| an open source OS is totally mainstream and
| acceptable â legitimate.
|
| [...]
|
| In view of the fact that most computing
| services are shifting towards the cloud and
| with web-oriented handheld devices playing
| more of a role, light and resource efficient
| operating systems seem to be the future of the
| next generation of computing. Open source
| operating systems (especially Android) are
| becoming the prime choice of the shanzhai and
| I believe weâll continue to see more in the
| future.

Q7 Linux MID nice but missing most important feature
,----[ Quote ]
| This is the Q7, a very nice mobile Internet
| device available running ubuntu or android. It
| has 1080p HD video playback and that could
| make it a top gadget. Sadly it's missing one
| important feature I really think is a no-go
| for a device like this.

Coming Innoversal Lattice tablet with Pixel Qi screen
,----[ Quote ]
| The Adam tablet had a unique distinction
| uptill now, that of being the only known
| tablet PC to be using the Pixel Qi screen. But
| as per the latest slate pc news, Adam will
| soon have company as there are a plethora of
| tablets that will be wearing the innovative
| technology that makes a screen just as
| viewable out in the sun as it is indoors. In
| fact, quite a few of those tablets were there
| to be seen at the Pixel Qi booth at Computex
| and they indeed look promising. But of all
| those present, special mention has to be made
| of one that can make a difference and rise
| above the sea of tablets â the Innoversal
| Lattice.
|
| [...]
|
| Saving the best for the last, Innoversal has
| said the tablet will make its debut by
| September and is likely to sport a price tag
| of around $530 to $550. Also, an interesting
| aspect of the tablet is there is the option of
| either Windows, Linux, or even Google Chrome
| as the default OS of the Lattice.

$88 Android 5-Inch Tablet. Seriously.
,----[ Quote ]
| There is not much information about this unit as
| far as specs go, we know from watching the video
| that it is running Android 1.5, but according to
| the rep it is going to be updated soon. The
| unit is the same size as the dell streak, so if
| you are looking for an idea of the size of that
| unit, make sure to check the video out.
