I'm very interested. Has anyone on the list actually got one of these yet?
I'm wondering what sort of power requirements it has (I gather it doesn't run off a battery which is a shame) but I'm interested to know if it has a fairly standard power supply (such as 12 volt PSU or laptop PSU)? What I'm thinking is maybe something like this would make a great in-car media player (either for playing MP3s or XVid movies to keep the kids quiet on long journeys) at least if it can be powered off a cigarette lighter socket (or alternatively an inverter). Sounds like a good excuse to pop down to the O2 store later on. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
