Hi folks,

The US company ZaReason who build Linux systems (and are currently investigating opening a store in New Zealand) have been working on a fully open Android tablet for some time now. Well it's now appeared on their website for pre-orders
On a related note, there's another open tablet from KDE in the works. It's called Vivaldi [1] (formerly Spark) and it looks like the preorders will be shipping soon [2]. The specs are slightly lower, it runs Mer + KDE Plasma, and retail price will be around $200: [1] http://www.makeplaylive.com/ [2] http://aseigo.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/vivaldi-nearly-here.html -- Marcus Furlong
