LinuxXP Fedora yet again... is shareware that wil stop working after 30 days unless you buy a license.
Linpus and Xandros (stand alone) have never been available in binary form without buying them. contains a lot of proprietary crap, i dont consider it FOSS
Caldera is discontinued. xandros is also discontinued
bottom line: You won't get any of the distributions I mentioned in binary form without paying for it, regardless whether you want support for it or not.

yeah...if this goes anywhere ill donate a sum of money to them that i consider fair, maybe even multiple times, depends on how long they continue to update the device...but im sure as hell not buying a device from them for this price and than risking to get stuck with an OS that is going nowhere...

a) you don't understand what the point of this project is
b) you don't care much, anyway
and
c) you're not gonna get one
I understand all that.
What I don't understand:
Why are you still around? Are you trying to convince everybody here that they shouldn't support this project? Are you going to spill as much hatred as you can in this thread, hoping to make the only promising tablet project since the N810 fail?

I'd say if they sold it for US$190 (inc shipping) it would make a lot more sense.
At that price point they are effectively competing/undercutting the Nook Color, Samsung Galaxy Tab (2010), Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet and the RIM PlayBook. And possibly the HTC Flyer too.

200€ for the tablet
around 30€ for shipping from EU to a neighboring croatia
15€ for some imaginery customs cost
than 23% tax on all that that comes to 300€ or 400$ so not such a nice price tag
and also there is a 35$ fee for certification from HAKOM(our agency for everything with any radio freq) so i can import it for personal use, and that is only if this tablet has EC declaration of conformity
i can buy an acer iconia tab a500 for that price here...
as for the guy above im rigt to have my opinion that is supported by facts, and i have a right to express it here and who doesnt want to read it doesn't have to, just because this is FOSS doesnt mean it should be overpriced or that we should settle for anything
i am the voice of reason here, deal with it

Huh? So much trouble? I've never had issues bringing electronics / computer parts from US to DE, nor my colleagues. Sometimes, those were even shipped before from HK to US.
(You have 430EUR free for imports anyway, so no customs.)

i have no custom for electronics(except some imaginary expenses...) just need to pay tax when value is over 20€ by post or 150€ personaly transported
for me the biggest problem is that ec declaration of conformity(certificate that it is in compliance with EU regulations) which is not neded for personal import in EU but is needed here...irony at its finest...

But if coming directly from HK (flash cards, devices), marking item as 'gift' or other tricks seems still to work - the last time i paid customs here was in 2002 i think, for a camera battery and grip (...).
Thanks for the explanation though. (Do you have someone outside Croatia as a kind of "freight-forwarder" for you?)
