I've been blessed with too many tablets... As such, I have one that I
could part with. It's an Archos 101 (
http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_101it/specs.html?country=us&lang=en
). Since it, somewhat uniquely, runs Debian, I figured someone in the
group might be interested.
The specs are decent - 1Ghz ARM A8, 1024x600 10.1 inch screen,
full-size USB host port, HDMI-out, 8Gb internal storage, a microSD
slot, 256Mb ram, and a built-in kickstand.
It's been rooted, I've installed the google app market, and set it up
to dual-boot Android and Debian Squeeze w/ Gnome. Both environments
work well, though some hardware doesn't seem to be supported on the
Debian side yet (like audio - but wifi works).
There are pre-built Debian images available for it online with XFCE,
Gnome, KDE, etc.
It's only been used for a few hours.
I posted it to Craigslist for $300, but I'd take $250 + a little for
shipping from anyone on the GRLUG.
