Yep :-)
Check out the Android x86 project. Should run fine except they don't have any wacom drivers so no touch screen :-/

Have fun :-D

why not go Ubuntu linux instead- you can have your touchscreen. Guess I don't see the point of a tc1000 without it's touchscreen.

Oh I'm not suggesting that Android would be an option for daily use or even be a good experience running on the TC1000. But it's interesting. I'd definitely suggest Ubuntu for a tablet OS. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on my Motion M1400 at the moment and the customization options are unmatched my next project is to optimize Unity (The netbook interface) for tablet use :-)

Well, thanks a lot, we need to wait more time :)

Yep. As far a I know they are working on porting the Wacom drivers from Linux to Android but it sounds like they are having some problems.

If they (the uber techs of honored fame) do get the wacom drivers ported then that would be another uptick in the competition to get your hands on a tc1000 or tc1100!

Grindboy I have a question, since the tc1000 has the trans meta processor and doesn't allow prefetching which os would work best on it anyway? I switched to an 1100 because it wouldn't run a sql based and netframe based program that I needed for work. I even tried the code morph patch on it and still not a good fit. I wish I could put linux on it and run the program under wine, but I fear that to be untenable.

Currently dual booting my 1100 so it works for now. My child has the 1000

That question is way over my pay grade! Give me a couple more years of learning and I might be able to understand that question! :-)

Aw, well. I wish you did know. I know that it means that graphics are not accelerated on that unit because it can't preload or some such thing. I think this is the main reason that the transmeta crusoe processor was pushed out of the market- it doesn't play nice with graphic intense programs. BTW it is WAY above my pay grade too, I just had problems because of it. LOL The intel and centrino processors don't have this problem.

Could you take some videos of how well your Linux tablet works ?
I think John and many others would be interested in how well your cool Linux M1400 works !
Motion would probably want to know as well !
