I like the way the price jumps from $349 to $399 when one goes from the home page to the product detail page. I wonder what the price will be once you can put it in a shopping cart?? ;)

Nice tablet.  I wonder if it would run plasma-mobile.

given the resources and hardware it should run like a champ.

The specifications look reasonable.  It'd probably be able to run things other than Ubuntu as well, depending on how many evil binary-only modules are necessary for the hardware bits.

Are there any applications out there for x86 that are usable on a device with just a touchscreen?  Lots of X11 programs seem to assume that precision mousing is available, and capacitive touchscreens fail at that.  It'd probably need a keyboard, at least.  Entering text on android devices with any of the keyboard widgets I've tried is like trying to paint while wearing oven mitts.  But bluetooth and a bluetooth gamepad could mean a nice portable fceu/snes9x/psemu setup, perfect for long plane trips.
