Yes,
but you need about 50% diligence and 50% luck
when you buy over the wire like this.

Batteries can be re-engineered,
but connectivity and/or BIOS issues can be show-stoppers:

I got something like it a long time ago and it is still
a virgin brick - it just barely ran at all, ever
I managed to boot Mandriva but the wifi chip was
one of those things that never had linux wrapper.
(FTR, it was an AIGO MID, one of the first COMPAL MIDs)


as for the linked item:
Saddled with intels 515 and only a single gb of DDR2 memory
this might not even boot before lunchtime.

it has the infamous Intel GMA 500 graphics chip
which means it is a real junkyard dog to make work.


___That said, however :_________________
They do have some other much more interesting hardware,
and given how well this tablet works
I will definitely be buying more from them.

========================================
The real caveat when buying from there is whether
or not the BIOS is open or locked
which makes all the difference in the world
to loading a real linux OS.

If it needs a driver or two, maybe it is just a nuisance
but if the BIOS is locked then the hardware is a brick
that belongs in someone else's walled garden.
