Black Friday 2009
Black Friday is almost here! Gadgetell's got you covered with all the latest news on who's offering the best deals. Dangerous crowds? You're on your own.
Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
Looking for a simple way to run the Ubuntu Eee OS on your Eee PC? Then this may possibly be the answer for you, the team behind the Ubuntu Eee project have announced that they will be offering a limited edition 4GB SD card with the OS pre-installed.
Users would have to just insert the SD card into their Eee PC and then select to boot from the SD card. Nothing really special to do, nothing to install, just insert the card and start up your computer.
The cards are currently available for order, but are a little pricey at $50. With the low price of 4GB Class 6 SD cards nowadays you can certainly accomplish this for less, but then you would not have the convenience, or satisfaction of donating to a good open source cause.
However if this is something you are looking for you may not want to wait to long because according to the developer Jon Ramvi, he has only purchased 10 blank cards to date.
Of course for your $50 what you do get, aside from the warm fuzzy feeling that donating to a cause will give you, is a shiny new 4GB Class 6 SD card that has the Ubuntu Eee OS installed and is branded with the Ubuntu Eee logo.
