not to rain on the parade but thought id mention the Smart Q5

I owned one, still do, but get little use of it, it ran:

- an lxde frontend (default)
- mer
- android
- Win CE :confused:

you could triple boot it with a nice interface, boot from SD cards and the hardware was bearable but it was one device with a small user base, tiny community, and too many operating systems.

None of them ended up that polished and while i spent many hours/days/weeks mucking about with it, but it NEVER became a useable tool like my N900 is.

i may be wrong but beware the jack of all trades.... my 2 bits

Maemo? lol I guess he meant MeeGO not maemo5. Maemo5 doesn't really support Intel by default. MeeGo does.

"Windows tax" I'm guessing.

EDIT: and apparently "Microsoft Office tax" too.

Better if they sold it with Android+MeeGo with Windows etc. as an optional add-on.

The expense:
- Intel tax (Atoms are more expensive than Tegra2's)
- Windows 7 OS tax
- MS Office tax
- SSD tax
.... .... .... what you get is a half-baked gadget that isn't worth the cost.

I mean I mean buy this and support Aussies :)

Lets cross our fingers that maemo is actually included. That will add some more applications for our n900 (compiling application for armel shouldn't be hard for devs).

Actually, that is one of the things that I find most appealing - because there is a chance that an Australian device will be available here. Even the n900 is not available here, apart from via parallel importers. I brought mine from the UK with me.
