Theres a fair bit of chat on the internet about this-

Which has been reduced from £150 to £50.

For what it is, it seems an ok deal, however the thinking is that the hardware is much better than the software and you can hack it to run android, or linux as a touchscreen pc.

Would this be suitable to use as USB based DMX controller or is it not powerful enough?

If so it then suddenly becomes a very interesting proposition....

Anyone?

I'd never advise it - although I guess it COULD be done.

I don't think it's a wise idea..

If it is not supose to have fulll tablet PC software on it, I don't think any software is going to be stable.

Spend a little extra and get a netbook.

I have just sold mine...

and the reason I sold it was that it just was not fast enough using an os from a usb stick. Probably it would have been ok if you wanted to do the SDD hack which means a lot of cutting and soldering.

I think you should have said "spend a lot extra and get a touchscreen UMPC". :eek:

I bought 4 and sold 3 on ebay which paid for the one I kept.
Plan to use it as a music streaner for the house but havent got round to sorting it out yet - should do that ok from what I've seen of it.
