Well, I'm not stopping you, but it doesn't exactly get rave reviews, not even in the Linux press, which should be all over it. But these gadgets as well as smartphones have so far been more of an example of Linux done wrong.

No pad I've heard of yet is powerful enough to run Windows decently. But well, if you ask me, there is nothing decent about Windows anyway. :P

Meego is another type of Linux oriented towards mobile machines, just as Android is. But it seems that a lot of the freedom gets dropped in the process, which comes with the fact that you need to connect to an internet provider one way or the other to fully utilize the gadget, and to access, for instance, an app store. You are practically bound to use the system software which is provided with the pad or smartphone in question, and that means you're much more dependent on vendor mercies. Vendors as a rule don't understand Linux and the freedom which comes with it.

Simply spoken, a resistive touchscreen gets its information by resisting your touch, that means, you have to press a little harder than you would have on a capacitive touchscreen, which works with the small electrical charge your touch causes. That makes resistive touchscreens less responsive and puts more wear and tear on them.

If you do in fact get this pad or any of the others, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience with it. I personally will only consider a pad or smartphone if it will let me put my own choice of OS on it and still connect me with a service provider.
