SmartQ 5 MID scores itself Ubuntu, a ridiculously low price tag

The SmartQ 5 from SmartDevices just took itself from me-too MID of the millisecond to a quite interesting value proposition. The touchscreen device, which features a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 screen, is now running an ARM-friendly Ubuntu distro, and has been given the low, low pricetag of 899 Chinese Yuan, about $132. Sure, it’ll probably never surface Stateside, especially not for that price, but it’s a good demonstration of what a little bit of decent ARM hardware and a popular Linux distro can do when they work together, hand in hand

I ended up with two of these so looking to offer this to this DL before returning it in store. This is a really cool unit with a large 4.3 inch screen, Bluetooth and TTS out of the box but more interestingly being very hackable. With a simple hack this turns into a CE GPS device that can run other software (IGO, TomTom etc). There are huge communities built around this device.

Full specs are here.

It was rated as one of the top 5 units by cnet. Here is a review and another. Here is a video of one of the enhancements made to the unit by the community.
