I have a question for Kathy6699:

Is there a Debian/Ubuntu port available for the A81/W1060? And is it also possible to make your own ARM port of Debian/Ubuntu to put on the device?

I know there is Android, but I would like to have a terminal and the same software I use on my pc. I know not all the software is available but as far as I know all the simple ones(that I use) are there for ARM.

I ask since A81/W1060 has a way better performance/price ratio than SmartQ 7/V7 and includes(read: has optional) GPS.

Another quick question: Does the A81/W1060 support 3G dongles?

That would be awesome.
