SmartDevices Launches $130 SmartQ 5 Ubuntu MID in China

Man, I’m so jealous…. As a long-time Ubuntu user, the SmartQ 5 [Translated] hits all the right buttons for me. The SmartQ 5 is a $130 (899 Chinese Yuan) Mobile Internet Device that features a 4.3-inch 800×480 touchscreen, runs a custom ARM-friendly version of Ubuntu, includes built-in Wi-Fi / Bluetooth connectivity, and provides an SD card slot for additional storage. It’s obviously fairly slim and compact, making it ideal for a variety of purposes. If this device ever makes it stateside, it’s destined to be a big hit for its price point and functionality.
