Thank you for taking the time to write your views on this. I was hoping that you'd respond!
In principle I really think you are right: It's a bit too early to get one of the bigger tablets, they haven't been around long. But I want it early anyway and I think I'll get it, the question is what to do after that - leave it with the default OS and setup... or put something else on it.


  • I currently have a 1 hour commute each way, to work. having this would allow me to use that time more productively (if I can get a seat...) I never take my work laptop home if I can avoid it, too heavy.


  • I plan a long trip eastwards (take a long break, practice Russian etc) in the spring and I need a lightweight computer to bring with me.


  • Because I am a geek at heart but have been feeling a bit "anti" new tech for a few years; HOWEVER this is something i feel quite positive about.


  • Don't want to buy an iPad (too hyped up, lots of limitations and I already have several things form Apple, that's enough..) or some mainstream junk with Windows on it. I like that this product is European.


  • Want to use it for my language studies. I have been spending WAY to much time in front of my computer at home since I started studying Russian.This would allow me to do the studying while out and about.

Thanks for explaining about the screens.

I don't really know how touch apps work; I guess they have to be created with that in mind to start with, right?

There IS Linux Touch OS, called Jolicloud which is based on Ubuntu and can run any Ubuntu applications.

I am going to try to find out whether that would run on the Wetab -- it's been getting great reviews.

I am having trouble following the debates about Wetab because my German is not good and I don't want to actually write anything in German.
