My two main thoughts on this are:
1. It won't cost $200. The Nokia N810 has similar specs and had a price drop to $300, so I don't see how this will happen. It might be possible to source the parts for 200, but not build it, ship it and make a profit.
2. Why not use Ubuntu MID? I have not used it, but it was made for these kind of devices. Certainly much easier and cheaper than writing custom linux/ff code. Just add Firefox with a preset homepage to the startup and you're done :)
- biosoup 18y agoDo you think that they want to make profit? Didn't Arrington said that the whole device will be open source?
- vaksel 18y agoOpen source just means Arrington won't need to pay coders to write the software, and will get to enjoy discounts from people who have contacts to help build the hardware.
- cubrilovic 18y agonot a profit incentive. we just want cool hardware and want it to be open
- greyman 18y agoNo, The Nokia N810 has NOT similar specs. If nothing else, it has keyboard.
