Yes, it is going to be priced at about 270 coconuts, and when it is
finally released, I will probably get one. I want my money will go
towards the open source initiative for tablets.
Again, the Zenithink is shipped with a unlock boot loader.....How
frickin cool is that!?!?! **And** for only 100 bucks!!! I think is it
worth it.
The downside to the Zenithink there is no bluetooth and no GPS. Speakers
on the back of the tablet.
