I think I will get one to do stuff like Run VLC, Pidgen, Transmission, Gimp, and Midori. The only thing missing from the device is the ability to play Youtube.

The device seems to do a really good job playing video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddt7diNZizM. The only thing that turns me off about the device is that it does seem slow.

The design and build quality seem very acceptable. Having a full sized SDHC card slot is definitely a plus for this device.

The only real issue this thing is from China and wouldn't be able to provide support in English. However someone who would buy a device like this probably wouldn't care about support from the manufacturer.

I think this device will be a worthy n810 replacement. Only problem is that it lack the excellent design, keyboard, and kickstand the n810 had.
Well for 150 - 200 dollar I could get device that can run Ubuntu/Android 2.1/Windows CE 6.0, has USB host, and plays 1080p video. The device seems pretty good for what it offers the Ubuntu part is a selling point of its own and it can run a good amount of Linux applications.
Some Specs
Operating System- Android 2.1, Windows CE, and Ubuntu
Ram: 256mb
Processor: Samsung Arm11 processor clocked at 600mhz overclockable to 800mhz
Connectivity: Wifi 802.11b/g. Bluetooth 2.0, Mini Usb, and USB OTG
Battery: 2,000mah
Screen: 4.3 inch 800x480 resistive Touchscreen
Audio Codec Support: MP3, OGG, WMA, FLAC, APE, AAC, WAV
Video Codec Support: AVI, MKV, RM, RMVB, FLV, WMV, 3GP, MPEG, DAT, MP4. With support for DivX, Xvid, H.264, MPEG4, and Windows Media
Storage: 2gb plus expansion through full sized sdhc cards.
The device doesn't seem too bad for what if offers. This device would be a great Toy for Linux Geeks.
