In rather interesting news, my fiancee says there's the exact same box as on http://kamleung.com/goodies/q5/index.html waiting for me at home.

Hi Stskeeps, that is exciting.
Perhaps you could post here, when you can, with your impressions.
Looking forward to hearing what you think.

First impressions:
Comes with a chinese charger, good screen, locale can be changed in /etc/default/locale - you can grab a terminal with "evilvte". Nice matchbox keyboard popping up clicking in some text fields.

Excellent, you are getting good first impressions.
Does the fact that it supports Linux Ubuntu out of the box means that it lends itself to a Mer or even Android install?
