They should really wait for the 11.04 release - Unity will run so much better.

[AggressivePrefector]

The close, minimize, and maximize buttons seem to small to use on that screen. Would need a better theme for tablets.

@madsrosendahl No...Unity destroys

This would've been the perfect place to use unity.

@madsrosendahl doesn't unity use more graphics power though elightenment or de/wm similar to that found on existin touch devices be better eg maemo/meego

@johnniefive80 I already called myself the nasty one. BTW, "an idiot" is not necessarily everyone who has an opinion different from _yours_.

As linux device this one is much appreciated.

However: narrator's "this is a great device... you can hear the fan" for compact device sounds at least grotesque for me. But again, in my book those having different opinion from mine are not equivalent to idiots ;-)

@mrhozer linux in chroot is gay.....linux (ubuntu, debian, etc) is capable of running on every android device's hardware, just a matter of the hacking needed (reverse engineering). android itself is linux.
