Found this:
MID’s been out for a while, and there’s some EEEBuntu builds based upon it.
Don’t think it’d get me to give up my EeePC laptop though. Admittedly, my laptop’s twice as big as that, but my guess is that it’s also half the price (since my laptop ran under $299.)
Very cool. I wonder if I can put Windows 7 on it.
Thanks for the post. About a year or so ago, I posted about the predecessor to Ubuntu Mobile, then called CE II. I was able to get my hands on that and loaded it on an HTC with a TI OMAP 850.
The OS, while not touch, was just ok, and the radio/phone was junk, at best, although wireless worked well. Then, they scrapped it for, what we now know is, Ubuntu Mobile.
While I’m not in the loop, the word I’m hearing is that it’s as good as any HP or Dell Pocket PC Phone Edition on the market, not quite as good as some HTC’s or the iPhone...yet. Which is odd, since HTC makes some of the HP and Dells.
Notable differences are, first and most important, a real terminal! Woo-hoo! Plus the fact that most any Linux app is installable and usable. Notice in the vid that OO 2.3 SUITE is started and running. As well, several full size port connectors (ie USB, headphone) are used instead of proprietary ones.
It’s really starting to become exciting, and I can’t wait for a production model to hit and compare it to my current favorite, the Touch HD.
BTW, Canonical is on the verge of profitability and there is rumor of an acquisition in the works (meaning them acquiring another company). Anyone know anything about that?
I’d love me some ubuntu if it was easier to add ap’s
