Smallest x86 PC runs Ubuntu Linux

-
We are hitting the Mobile Arena no doubt, all devices are being so freaken portable and so freaken conncted.
The MTube a Taiwanese portable x86 based Tablet with IP Tv capabilities + TV Recording is just released by the Taiwanese government sponsored R&D efforts running Ubuntu Linux on 1GHz Processor.

Shown off at the Lunch@Piero's 2008 event at CES, the 5.3-ounce MTube measures 3.3 x 3.3 x 0.8 inches (8.3 x 8.3 x 2cm), and sports a 2.8-inch VGA (640 x 480) touch panel display. There's built-in WiFi, with optional WiMax and HSDPA cellular networking via USB adapters.


The MTube was shown decoding a simulated digital TV (DVB-T) broadcast. It was also shown streaming video to a wirelessly connected digital photo frame. Perhaps most impressively, it was shown playing YouTube video -- a capability that has proven to be a challenge for Linux-based tablets based on non-x86 architectures, such as Nokia's ARM11-based N800 and N810 (although a new firmware release for the Nokia devices aims to change that).
I still can not run YoutTube on my N770 Tablet -;((((





The basic specs revealed so far for the MTube are:

* Processor: Via 1GHz C7-M
* 256MB of RAM
* I/O: Built-in WiFi, USB-based WiMax, USB-based HSDPA
* Codecs: MPEG, H.264, WMV, RMVB, MOV, FLV, DIVX
* Display: 2.8-inch touch panel (640x480)
* Hard disk: 8GB
* Battery life: 4 hours
* Dimension: 3.3 x 3.3 x 0.8 inches (8.5 x 8.5 x 2 cm)
* Weight: 5.3 ounces (150 grams)
* Operating system: Tailored Ubuntu Linux

All what you need to do, is to make your web browser distinguish itself as Google Bot All of us have seen Google returns search results that lead to sites that require a registeration ?, How googlebot index the site without a registration ? Many sites want their site indexed in google to recieve more hits and thus, make more money with advertisment on their site. Even more interesting is the following question: How do we use this to our advantage ? It is Simple , we need to disguise ourselfs as the googlebot, many sites will let you in without authentication/registration. The parameter we have to change is called the User Agent. The user agent defines the browser and version that you use. For example it would show Internet Explorer as your browser if you are using this one. You need to alter your Browser settings to t...
