    SmartQ 5

    Has anyone seen this before?
    It has a ARM processor clocked at 667mhz and 128mb of RAM. It runs a linux distro by default. It has wifi and a single USB port. It has a 4.3 inch touch screen and best of all IT FITS IN YOUR POCKET lol
    Seriously, I'm thinking of saving up for one. Do a google search and tell me what you think. The only problem is its cheap Chinese **** and apparently some things aren't soldered on correctly.

    It looks really cool and the price isn't bad either. What would you use it for?

    A lot of things, probably mainly internet related activities. However I'm rethinking getting it, something else caught my eye. The Inkia 500 which is ment to come out soon. Its suppose to be $300USD. Its a bit like the SmartQ 5, except being an Atom, its x86 compatible and it also has 1GB of RAM and a 16GB SSD. I'm salivating just thinking of it - I would trade in my EEE in a blink of an eye for this thing. I hope the rumored $300USD price is the end result retail price.

    If the Inkia 500 doesn't take off or if there isn't anything like it in that price range (or if the Inkia itself isnt in that price range), then I'll still fall victim to the linux gods and buy the SmartQ 5.
