More info

$250 to make, sell it for $300

Runs   OS- Ubuntu
        CPU- Intel Atom
    Display- 12" capsitive touch screen

That certainly is clever. Now the only question is, how long will we have to wait for this gift from above? I read somewhere about a  "back-to-school" release time frame for the US.

:Matt

If you look at the article, it say they are looking at late Q2.

$200 was the target cost to manufacture. I think MSRP was going to be around $300.

Was this the article

It is hard to tell. But you are right, one devise would have a time seeing through that much concrete. But Z wave uses a mesh network. So put in a few repeater devises in between and you should be OK.

This is just the first. I am sure small form factor motherboards will follow shortly after this comes out. Just look at all the other options for Atom set ups.

HDMI will be just fine for me.

I put a order in, but i think they are sold out and it has been discontinued so i will see if i get them??? Damn

Now with a hands on.

Wow. Thanks

Ya, if linux support is there it would be about the best MD I can think of.

"The AspireRevo is debuting today alongside a plethora of other Acer wares, boasting a 1.6GHz Intel Atom 230 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, up to 250GB of HDD space, a 4-in-1 card reader, HDMI / VGA outputs, gigabit Ethernet, six USB 2.0 sockets, audio in / out, Windows Vista Home Premium / Basic and a svelte black and white enclosure that measures just 7.1- x 7.1- x 1.2-inches. The built-in Ion GPU means that this bugger is completely capable of handling 1080p (and thus, Blu-ray) content, DirectX 10 and even mildly demanding games such as Call of Duty 4 and Spore. Acer's staying mum on a price and release date, but we're still hearing that the late Q2 time frame is a safe bet. Check the full release just past the break"

I am not sure if this is the same as this guy \/, But it looks like it.

I think that is what i am going to do. I just need to find one that is compatible with such an old OS. They are getting a little harder to come by.

I was mostly asking about bluetooth to see if it was explored or not.

Thanks for your help,

Anthony
