As someone who gave the JingPad a spin, the Linux tablet market has been painfully difficult to pull off. At least this is based on Intel, ensuring that if the company goes belly up, it can be used for something other than a mirror.


IIRC, Ubuntu Touch has been ported to the JingPad, so there is one supported OS option.


Yeah, it has, but it has serious limitations for future ports because of its hardware model. It’s using an SOC with proprietary PowerVR graphics which will limit its future ability.
