it looks like an interesting alternative to the nokia tablet 770 or 800, but without a keyboard it's no zaurus killer, but we can hope that someone like smartQ will see the light!

I ordered a few SmartQ 5s with android. I have one for myself and one for my wife, and I pre-sold a couple. I'm really looking forward to this gadget. I love my C1000, but its been a frustrating experience sometimes, and I'm hoping that already having support for three major distributions (android, mer and ubuntu) will lead to a user experience that is a little less tweaking and a little more fun.
BTW, One of the guys backed out and I'll have an extra one when they arrive tomorrow. PM me if you are interested. Cal |
