The creator of the initiative, Neal Peacock, want to reach the $ 49,000 investment by stakeholders, a number that seems to us somewhat short for a segment as the tablets.

Interestingly

tablets already exist physically, and its creator wants invest that money in creating a Linux that makes the most of the benefits of the two existing models

The first would

In addition a microSD slot that would allow the tablet booting from another operating system that was not in memory. The price of these tablets will be $ 185 if you come to raise the amount sought.

The second model is the PengPod 700 , with a 7-inch 800 × 480 pixel resolution, 1.3-Mpixel camera and a USB port, along with 1 Gbyte of RAM and 8 Gbytes of storage. This model will cost $ 120 , except that you may be one of the first investors to contribute $ 99, which will have one reserved.

IndieGoGo campaign to raise investment also another device, the PengStick , which is basically identical to the current Miniand MK802, and all of them-both tablets as this stick-the idea is Android provide serial-indeed, as you say the devices already exist physically, but Android is the OS preinstalled – as Linux through the fully functional version for these devices. If you want to bet on this project, you can do in the IndieGoGo page.
