Ekoore -- an x86 Ubuntu Tablet
 

Have you seen Ekoore? Three very neat x86 tablets, running Ubuntu out of the box. With Perl (the most expensive version), there is a possibility of bying a case with integrated keyboard. All in all, both the hardware and the software and very, very nice! What do you think?

My first thought was: Could the Ekoore hardware run this?

My second thought was: How did they get around hardware/kernel restrictions mentioned here? Are they shipping a legal product?

Bump.

This project looks pretty serious, look how many products they have. They seem to answer very promptly on the forum... Benny, I don't know what they did regarding the obstacles mentioned there, but looks promising for now.

Anyway, I've expected far more feedback on this, isn't it what many of us here have been desperately looking for?

Those tablets look quite promising but they sure aren't cheap.

Re: Ekoore -- an x86 Ubuntu Tablet
 

It's x86 (essentially an atom netbook with the keyboard removed), shouldn't have any special hardware/kernel restrictions.

That is certainly a lot of my preference boxes ticked and a good price too. However my French is not too good so I cannot tell if the blurb says that it made out of potato or not?
