Help wanted for building $200 ultra-light, open source flavoured, touch-screen tablet
Just have to post this. Want a ultra-light and easy to use tablet under $200? I know I do. Here’s the deal:
Michael Arrington from CrunchGear decided to start a project to create ultra-portable open source tablet. It would would have one button to power up the device, it would fire straight to Firefox with no desktop environment. Low end speakers, mic and web camera would be integrated, touch screen providing control input. Half a gig of RAM and 4 GB SDD included.
They have already in the talks with manufacturer who says it could be produced for ~200$, all they need is custom software to make it all happen. Want to help? Check the link below and go for it!
