I just picked up a Dell Mini 9, pre-installed with Ubuntu. It's a pretty cool machine-- 32GB Solid State Hard Drive, full qwerty keyboard that's *almost* big enough to touch type on, SDHC slot, 1024x600 display, fully silent operation...
First thing I did was checkout and build desktop squeezeplay on it-- with the desktop skin maximized to full screen it looks remarkably good, which was surprising because the UI is not-at-all complete and it wasn't designed for that resolution. I'm pretty geeked by this...this is kind of what I was hoping the Nokia tablet was going to deliver a few years back. For now I'm running VLC for video and it works quite well. My hope is to get the new cross-platform XBMC installed for that in the near future. Screenshots, with ball-point pen for scale... cheers, #!/ben +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: P1000224_900x675.shkl.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6385| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
