Details Emerge About Spark Linux-Based Tablet

MojoKid writes "There's a new tablet in town called the Spark. The Linux-driven tablet, based on the Zenithink C71 and KDE was unveiled by developer Aaron Seigo recently. The tablet will be available for pre-order this week and will start shipping worldwide in May. In terms of specifications, the 7-inch (800x480) multi-touch slate will run a 1GHz AMLogic ARM processor and Mali-400 GPU, sport 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage (with a microSD slot for expandability), 802/11b/g WiFi, a pair of USB ports, a front-facing 1.3MP webcam, and an audio jack. The UI of choice is Plasma Active and there will apparently be a content store where developers can peddle their wares and users can snag software."

The dev team thinks of everything

From TFA:

Seigo also noted that the tablet will indeed blend, although that would void the warranty.

If somebody comes out with an Android tablet that will blend and not void the warranty, I'm buying it. I have small kids.

but the most important question...

even for someone who wants a full Linux stack, is: 'Can I play Angry Birds on it?'

Obligatory...
