This one has CE 5 and an ARM 926 CPU. I ended up downloading 3K Computers' ROM image update and booting it from an SD card to update the OS image on the device and get to the CE desktop.
(Still CE 5.
) I've only been able to do limited testing thus far, because I've located few CE 5 apps thus far to test, and because DHCP doesn't seem to find an IP address to assign
(just says 0.0.0.0 no matter how long I wait or how many times I click on "Renew"
), so I can't test the internal WiFi or the browsing speed on IE CE. Every time you power off the device, it seems to clear RAM - I don't know if that's a hard reset or if the device has a persistent registry like the Netbook Pro or the SIMpad.
(I also don't particularly like the fact that it's not instant-on or instant-off.
)
On the plus side, audio and video appear decent
(even without GAPI
), though certainly not as great as the Sig 3. Battery life also seems pretty good - I played with it for about three hours today, and it only dropped to about 60% power.
The seller I bought this one from had only the one. However, Buy.com does have some new ones on eBay for $150 with free shipping.
