There was a good review of this over on engadget. The screen is pretty low res. I know that people have gotten Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running on it but I thought I read that only an unofficial Alpha build was available. Have they made more progress on that front?

Don't know,...I have been ignoring most of the ARM hardware for personal use considerations,...although I knew Ubuntu was doing development on a version,

I guess the price caught my eye.

And the fact that you could load your own OS could make it interesting....

Support questions always get into another whole area.
