i hope this tablet doesnt atleast suffer from the same issue as its android counterparts, android tablets with this soc have 40% worse 3d performance than those with allwinner a10 soc(cortex a8 @1.2ghz, up to 1.5ghz without custom kernels and the same "dual" core mali 400 gpu...)
and much worse cpu score in quadrant also...

(In other words: Will Spark run "an instance of Mer"

Plasma Active builds on top of multiple OS'es, it being KDE and all, but from what I know, it's PA on top of Mer.

They (Basyskom, Plasma Active, etc) are actively involved with doing PA on top of Mer, most of the demos they've shown outside PC world has been on top of Mer.

I agree the relationship is looking a bit murky from that blog post, but what's being advertised is their product (Plasma Active + Spark) - Mer is just a tool to make this work and do it easier.

(We don't do instances or even murky trademark stuff - people base on Mer or they don't - it's a technical question)

Ok, i normally ignore 7 inches because they are too small for reading PDFs and such and too large for pocket carry. But this i want!

well they couldn't find a vendor that would release the drivers and kernel i think, but they've continued to work on the netbooks and have made some good progress building it on Mer. Sure the N900 release doesn't seem far but they've updated there site recently with some news about building it on GTK3 i think. but if this platform is completely open it would be perfect.
