Chinese MID deploying Ubuntu by default

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.

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 ?
