Chinese MID deploying Ubuntu by default

By Stefano Forenza on March 18, 2009

SmartDevices announced the adoption of Ubuntu as the operating system for it’s coming SmartQ5.

Engadget noted “The SmartQ 5 from SmartDevices just took itself from me-too MID of the millisecond to a quite interesting value proposition” in their news report, and I agree with them pretty much, as Ubuntu would be a feature capable of setting this Device apart from competition.

SmartQ 5

The news also confirms the goodness of Canonical’s choice to support ARM architecture. This device runs a 800×480 touch display and has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cow-powers. I am still looking around to find out the storage capacity of the device (any reader ?)

Also, the “ridicolous” price of appr. $132 may enable you to get one and buy me one also.

Anyone still wishing to buy an Ipod Touch ?
