Video out would be a plus, though. If they made a 9" version, with Ubuntu and Android (I'd probably wipe the CE partition), USB Host, and DVI-I out ... that might be interesting to me. But 7" is too small, and HDMI is too expensive to down-convert to VGA (my KVM). I haven’t seen anything that says it has HDMI. Video out would be a plus, though.

It is said to have HDMI, and runs on Ubuntu, Win CE or Android (all three preinstalled). http://www.eletroworld.cn/nb/SmartV_7.htm @ chippy do you have any more info on the SmartQ V7, the successor of the Smart Q7.

But it's the first one that really hits close to my target. The only things better would be a PixelQi e-paper/LCD hybrid display, and DVI-I instead of HDMI. That, and knowing it would have a full desktop browser (Acer is porting Firefox to their Android netbooks, for example). Actually, my summary of the ideal mid-range device (for me) is at: http://johnkzin.livejournal.com/55488.html I’m sure we both found it via talk.maemo.org :-)

But only with a strongly supported Android build. Regardless of touchscreen tech I think the Cortex A8 core brings enough improvement over the S7. But only with a strongly supported Android build.
