Care to PM a clue? I won't tell if you don't

You can't tell if I don't

Honestly, it's not that interesting.

TBH mate, for £50 there's nothing short of "it will die 10 mins after buying one" that could make me change my mind about purchasing.

Various little tid bits of info I've picked up while having a read around. It is essentially a collection of links showing what is going on with the jogglers at the moment. I haven't explained everything below but you should see the current state of play by looking at the links yourselves. Soooo much info on this:-

First there is this:-
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/06/f...npage_engadget

So, this looks like there will be a bucket load of cheap tablets incoming.

Linux on the joggler:-

http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Status/O2_Joggler
www.joggler.info/forum <- latest dev stuff going on there
jogglerhacks.blogspot.com

Also Ubunto MID Edition? Talk of adding a hdd to the joggler due to having the header on the PCB #1376
http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/64600...e-app-?page=92
Apparently the chinese are a lot further forward having managed to get 2.5" hdds running from it.

Latest firmware DOES NOT disable ubuntu install
http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/64600...e-app-?page=75
Touch screen works as well post #1114

Also work on getting android installed:-

http://www.androidx86.org/

The Joggler is essentially a rebranded one of these:-

The next openpeak / joggler?

More on the successor:-

Interesting that it has HDMI output, BT, cardreader and a battery.

It will be very interesting if they can get Android running on the thing.

It seems that "they" already have, although neither fully or seamlessly as yet.

Indeed, and for the ultimate lazyness on a Ubuntu install...

There is a chap that got the touchscreen working. I have one at home waiting for me to play with.

Mark · 10-04-2010, 21:29

Tempted. Photo frame and internet radio will do me nicely if they last more than 10 minutes.

If my leg holds out I may try the local store tomorrow. Any ideas when the offer expires?

Zirax · 10-04-2010, 21:45

You are very unlikely to get one instore. I think the offer runs till the 15th. I ordered mine online in the end.

I'm actually tempted to get another just as a net radio in the kitchen, even normal net radio's are more expensive then this! (£80 ish).

Mark · 10-04-2010, 22:02

Aye - I'll probably get one online but worth checking first, just in case. Don't tempt me with a second one.
