Good deal don't get me wrong if you can get it but people are literally wasting their days and nights looking for these judging by this thread, guarantee you that these will be offloaded in the coming weeks/months by people who've bought multiples.

You can't buy anything close to this for €99, isn't the panel the same as the iPad? ..from the same hardware supplier? I can see stable Ubuntu and various other builds popping up on this long before Android.

How many people looking for these tablets can genuinely say they can install Ubuntu/Android OS on the tablet? Offhand I couldn't and I'd be more tech savy than most of my mates, I'm sure it's simple enough process if there's step by step instructions on a website though. Anyway, good luck to everyone trying to get their hands on these, try not to waste too much of your time!!

I wouldn't expect too many "normal" people to be able to get Ubuntu let alone Android on to it for a while until the developers have it a bit more polished. I'd say the vast majority will be stuck with WebOS unless a simple one click install method is developed.
