Linuxdevices.com have just run an article comparing the Pepperpad 3 to the Nokia and Samsung ultra-mobile PCs.
I tend to agree with the article when it says that the Pepperpad occupies a unique segment. Its at a unique price point and has a unique design. Its the perfect sofa/coffee table device not least because of its consumer infra-red capabilities and remote control application which includes learning and a program guide supplied by TitanTV. It also enables webconferencing via its built-in camera and keyboard input via the mini keypads. Its also the only device that’s had some attention paid to ruggedisation with rubberised edges and splash resistance.
Aesthetically its not top-rung but it’s not bad either and personally, I really like the black version. I can see my daughter loving the pink one too!
And I wonder how long it will take for someone to get XP running on it. If the Vega can run Xp on the AMD LX800 then there must be a way to get the Pepperpad running XP.
