All the x86 internet tablets I've seen are basically just subnotebooks, or really really expensive, or both.
I'd install it today if they had an ARM version. I think it would be a lot more useful to me than Maemo on my N800.

I'd much rather run Ubuntu on my N800 than maemo at the maemo. That said the maemo platform is slowly improving and my views on it are constantly changing.

"

My understanding is that there is a "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" that are for netbooks/subnotebooks/UMPC's and this one is for the smaller, keyboardless internet devices with touch-screen such as the Nokia N810.

Correct me if I'm wrong here.Edited 2008-06-25 06:49 UTC Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:42:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (TLZ_) Comments RE: Looks pretty sweet... but http://osnews.com/thread?319909 http://osnews.com/thread?319909 Looks huge, I mean the top taskbar seems to eat lot of space also some controls looked very big compared to screen size. I just hope it's due viewing them on large screen. Hope to see products soon.

Looks huge,

"Huge" is generally a good thing on small screens, since it gives you a larger target to hit. And since you'll generally only be doing one thing at the time on such small devices, as long as you can have whatever you're working on open full screen, then the size of the other controls won't matter.

JeOS, Server Edition, Desktop and now MID... And of course this isnt the only thing that they develop. I mean, nothing against it, if they are going still to be providing Ubuntu in such a good shape, who am I to be say something...

You sure dont have time for some web browsing during work there ;) Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:25:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (HangLoose) Comments
