      Does it have the CUK double-typing feature?

        Doesn't look like you can connect it to KVM and run it as a Desktop...that was a key feature touted in the concept...

          Not sure. I am a keen linux user but like many, I dislike Ubuntu on the desktop because they make your PC experience like using a mobile phone. Part of Canonical's silly convergence policy. However, on the phone itself, maybe it works. If it offers a non-google, non-snooping way forward I'd be interested.

            I got one when they were first available, really like the user interface and scopes are a nice touch

            The location stuff seems a bit screwy at the moment an obviously app support is very limited

            Its early days yet but I love the fact I its actual Linux which means the potential could be quite large

              An answer to a question nobody was asking?
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
