I tried a local store and phoned another with no luck. Ended up buying online from O2's site.

TBH you'd be quids in buying one and busting it for parts. Some of the "Car PC" crowd seem to be doing this.

Still waiting for mine. Gone back to £99.99 online.

Mine arrived yesterday. Haven't got round to putting Linux on it yet, but for £50 it's a bargain even with the default OS.

Bugger - they're up at £99.99 online now.

Hopefully the shop I got mine from originally will come good and be able to sell me at least one for £49.99 but if not then I'll give it a miss.

It's looking like a Linux distro will be the first to become stable on the Joggler, but whatever "they" come up with it will be pretty cool have a proper OS running on it.

Given that the Joggler runs a cut-down linux by default anyway it's not surprising.

I never did make it do an O2 shop (damn leg, fatigue, etc.) but at least I got an online order in in time (even if it did say out of stock).

I'm finally back home and plugged it in. Without a shadow of a doubt, I should have got a second one at £50. There is nothing wrong with the net radio or the speakers. I had some reports that the speakers were 'tinny'. It's pretty much the same as laptop speakers.

The radio is all the bbc and all the stations that you would get on digital normally. It's a shame that they don't have all the shoutcast stations such as 1.FM. However if you installed linux then you could have all of it.

Genuinely impressed by the screen as well thus far. Nice & bright and very clean looking. For £50 you can't go wrong!

I am gutted that I didn't order an extra one. Although there is always these other tablets coming through that are meant to be damn cheap. My dad would love this for the footy.

Not sure I'll be getting one now. All depends whether O2 themselves get any more. I'll just leave the online order alone and hope for the best.

If I do get one, I've discovered it should be able to drive my Logitech V20 USB speakers. Nice bonus if I get fed up with the internal speakers.

Mark · 21-04-2010, 19:18

Wohoo. Two Jogglers turned up in the post (yes, I did take the plunge and get two - maybe one home/one work or one normal/one hacking - haven't decided yet. Essentially a BOGOF then, which will do me.

Set up the first one and that works fine - all updated and so forth. No problems yet.

Annoyingly it only drives the 'official' USB speakers, which is a shame but not the end of the world - the built-in speaker is at least usable and you can of course use the normal speaker jack.

Random but potentially useful fact - a brief test suggests the Joggler will charge an iPhone (and you don't even get a 'not designed for iPhone' warning).
