It seems pretty good. In looking for some info on which it was I note that it has multiple windows, which could be useful. I also notice that my Archos 70 ( from carphonewarehouse price £99) can take a version of linux as per the following para. "You can now choose to switch between the standard Linux Android or Linux Ångström distributions. Out of the box you can switch your tablet to the application framework you prefer to work on. Whether the more mobile centric Linux Android or the developer and office centric Linux Ångström." I didn't note the option to change the 'framework' when I took it out of the box.

Things I remember from our end of the table: * PowerTOP - http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop/ - for seeing what's causing the CPU to wake up, with suggestions of what to do about it. * Liberation fonts were built to be metric-compatible with Microsoft fonts, and are GNU GPL licensed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts * There is a Terminal app for Android http://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator/wiki * There are apparently touchscreens in development that can vibrate each pixel independently, allowing for "textures" to be felt (URL?)
