--> there is no flash which means no Youtube, Dailynotion or here in CHina no PPlive or Youku...
- Overall performances are quite poor
--> This version of Ubuntu is very limited, and installing other programs is limited
--> video reading is limited. I managed to read Dvix and Mp4 in so-so quality (few lags but readable)
--> The device is slow and has some bugs with tilting screens, reboots...
--> the touch screen is not perfect. When trying to draw on RgbPaint, it does not always answer
As you see, the device is far from being perfect, but for us ebooks/manga/comic books/magazine readers, the device is really great

Ahh! The search continues. I know the technology exists to build a reasonably priced UMPC/Tablet PC but no one seems interested. I thought this might be it. But alas! I don’t need another ebook reader, I already have four counting an HTC Touch and a Nokia N800. What I wanted was a decent mobile internet device. The N800 comes close, but the screen is too small for my old eyeballs to read the average web page. Now an N*** with a 7 to 10 inch screen would be nearly perfect!
