Details Emerge About Spark Linux-Based Tablet

[wraggster]

There's a new tablet in town called the Spark. The Linux-driven tablet, based on the Zenithink C71 and KDE (http://hothardware.com/News/Details-Emerge-About-the-Spark-LinuxBased-Tablet/) was unveiled by developer Aaron Seigo recently. The tablet will be available for pre-order this week and will start shipping worldwide in May. In terms of specifications, the 7-inch (800x480) multi-touch slate will run a 1GHz AMLogic ARM processor and Mali-400 GPU, sport 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage (with a microSD slot for expandability), 802/11b/g WiFi, a pair of USB ports, a front-facing 1.3MP webcam, and an audio jack. The UI of choice is Plasma Active and there will apparently be a content store where developers can peddle their wares and users can snag software.
