The auraslate could become a second one. They came too late for the first Spark tablet, though.

The Spark has the most buzz but this thing is already available for purchase (with source code). And Spark has already said they don't have the full source code.

My concern is there is no warranty, no refunds. Looks to part of viewpad 7 type device family. If so, standard cpu w/ source is better than the AmLogic (?) on Spark. There is more info here:

I'm just concerned about the legitimacy of this thing.
