Hi folks,

This was posted on the Ubuntu-UK mailing list.  I'm sure it'll be
of great interest to some of the folks on here...

No, not that Apple thing, but the O2 Joggler.

50 quid (for 14 days from 2nd April) and free delivery gets you a 7
inch touch screen device with:-

1.3GHz Intel Atom CPU
1GB storage
512MB RAM
Wired ethernet
Broadcom b/g/n WiFi
Audio + headphone jack
USB port

http://shop.o2.co.uk/joggler

It seems to come with a cut-down version of Ubuntu Hardy and can be
flashed to run 'proper' Ubuntu or Netbook Edition if you wish.

I thought it might be useful as a mythtv frontend for my desk or
bedside, or maybe even an IP telephone when paired with a suitable
USB headset.

Some links I've gathered:-

Thank you for posting this, I am now Â100 lighter as I just ordered
2 ;)

I had been thinking about a digital photo frame for a while, and at
Â49 thats a pretty good price for that feature alone with a decent
resolution on the display.

If the email confirmation is correct, it might even be here tomorrow,
free next day delivery :]

I may well be ordering 1+ @ Â49.  Anyone know if they can be made to
use battery power a-la laptop style?

Grant.

Not sure but I did find the details of the power supply, it's something like 5 volts/4 amps.
