I see bugs around GMA 600 support listed as fixed in the MeeGo 1.1 Handset release:

The this device would be perfect for the MeeGo tablet.

dunno about Halo, but I still remark it would be completely useless for SC2...

We don't really know how performance will be. I'm sure this will be great for Halo, OpenArena, PSx Emulation, Sid Meier's Pirates, Sid Meier's Railroads, Civilization 4, Dreamcast Emulation, and older games. Also the 10hours or more of battery life and the amazingly large high resolution make this perfect for VLC or other Media playback. This thing could could also be used for productivity through Openoffice.org. This would also be perfect for on the go voice over ip and video chatting. Th 5mp camera will be very useful for facebook and youtube. This thing has flash 10.1 so I can view websites other than youtube. This thing would also be great for managing and being used as a Linux LAMP server. Anyways I'm thrilled about this device. Also this is great because no more begging for promises that Nokia will never fulfill like Flash 10.1, various games, Meego upgrade and many of the other Nokia could have easily provided, but were too greedy to do so, instead I can install all of those things myself on the Ocs1. the Usb host functionality is something I wanted out of the n900 but it never got it. This has a REAL keyboard unlike most devices coming out these days.

@railroadmaster

wow, you should really hit the Enter button more often.

Anyways, this thing looks a little larger than the original PSP but slightly smaller than a 7". So as far as portability goes, this is not pocket friendly (not portable) but it will quite easily fit into handbags/coat pockets (portable) - so it's in the lukewarm spot imho.

I think if MeeGo fixes the GPU support/driver issues that Intel's (and most other distros) being plagued with, then this baby should fly!

All it needs is MeeGo to develop a new framework for open gpu driver support (actually to promote and influence this), gets a good/finger friendly user interface and fixes whatever bugs (ie touchscreen response etc etc) ... this should blow the water off the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Like you, I was initially trilled by the Lenovo S10-3T (which as I was saying has a more performing CPU, GPU, and a bigger batter pack) and I've been trying to do many thiings with it. However, I've been severily deceived by the Atom. It feels more like the N900 than a x86 laptop.

I seriously doubt you will be able to play Civ4 on it. Not to mention that I doubt you will be able to get a 10h figure playing on it as you really cannot on the Lenovo which has an order of magnitude better battery.

The form factor is not bad and I'm sure it will have its uses, but it is far from a PC-like gaming machine as the ad seemingly says.

Seems pretty useless toy. And why every friggin' device has to be used to play games nowadays?
