The Spark is about having a community driven tablet that is open in every sense to its owner. It may not be your cup of tea and that is ok.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 10:14 AM, Dan Kulinski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:daniel@kulinski.net">daniel@kulinski.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

What makes a FLOSS tablet more attractive? In the coming months I hope to get an Android tablet but I really don't see the appeal of a FLOSS solution especially given the weakness of some Linux software (navigation seems to be missing, a good UI for tablets doesn't really seem to be there yet). Ultimately I would like a 7" tablet I could dock into my car, break out some important engine information (I was thinking of connecting to an Arduino running the IOIO board and the CAN BUS shield relaying info back to the tablet), media player to a built in amp and navigation capabilities, maybe via an external GPS unit if necessary. <br>
