Linux flavored Spark tablet struts its stuff on video
Expected to ship some time in May at a entry-level price of $265, the Spark tablet is essentially a re-branded Zenithink C71 tablet with Mer Linux running the show instead of Android. This is a open source version of MeeGo Linux with Plasma Source running on top. Everything about the tablet is open from the OS to the unlocked bootloader and open app and content markets.
The Spark tablet has a 7 inch WVGA screen with 1 GHz AMLogic ARM Cortex-A9 processor under the hood along with Mali 400 graphics. 512MB of RAM is aboard with 4GB of native memory. The tablet does have a microSD slot and a 1.3MP front-facing camera.
You can check out the UI as the tablet is taken for a quick test drive in the video below. The UI shown is not optimized for a 7 inch display, so by May you can expect sharper and clearer images and hopefully the lagging will also be cleared up.
