I personally hate Windows CE on my SmartQ devices. Don't get me wrong, I use Windows Vista/7 and Windows Mobile all the time, but Windows CE is absolutely horrible. It's basically an (at least) 10 year old OS(complete with 16 color Win 95 icons) that hasn't really changed and lacks all features we're now used to.

For eBooks, web browsing and media playback, the SmartQ V7 is very suited. It plays HD videos and all. Don't expect it to open 'large full color graphics heavy PDFs' though. But the A81 probably isn't powerful enough either. If you need that, get a netbook.
