just because i want a open source gnu/linux powered device, doesnt mean i will settle for sub par hardware for a steep price(when compared to what i'm getting for it...)

dont get me wrong, i would adore a device similar to this one, but made with better choice of hardware for the same price and with gnu/linux as OS, this one just fails by my opinion unles the problem is in the android drivers and will be fixed in this(which i dont believe is the case)
if the problem is in the drivers, ill just buy a 125$ variant of this tablet and flash the OS from this 200€ variant, maybe donate them 20$ if possible afterwards

That wouldn't be a problem if there were binary blobs available for every new kernel revision, but that's generally not the case and a perfectly functional device cannot be kept up to date.
Seeing this as a problem is the very difference between Open Source and Free Software.

And a problem anyone that has owned a N8x0 knows by heart.

Relationship with Mer much more explained in http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2012/01/o...licensing.html
(BTW, if anyone speculates, I'm not involved with this except in my function as project architect in Mer, let's see where I'll end up

Spark Linux tablet specs updated, going up for pre-order next week:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/05/s...order-next-we/
I don't know, for this price I expected at least a 10" screen + 1GB ram. How this compares with kindle fire?

I'm quite convinced, that Spark will make it into customers hands. My comment was rather about presented specification. Still, it doesn't seem to be "this thing".
