Get A KDE Spark Tablet RIGHT NOW!

The KDE Spark Tablet is now called Vivaldi! Check It Out!

Potential buyers have been clamoring over the new KDE Spark tablet. Though predicted to perform otherwise, demand has been incredibly high as suggested by the sheer volume of pre-orders over at Make-Play-Live. Well, you don’t have to wait in line… The Spark tablet is really just a re-branded unit. At first, €200 doesn’t seem like a lot of scratch, but once you get familiar with the intimate details of the hardware, you find something here that you might not be able to carry with you as a daily-driver. I must say however, the allure of this rather nice looking experience is enough for me… Now, how well will this run on a Touchpad??

If you want to get your hands on a KDE Spark Tablet Right now, you can pick up the Zenithink C71-ZT280 Android tablet here. It’s $100… [youtube id="e3wzP34O_48" width="600" height="350"] So, how does the Spark Tablet justify its price? From Lilliputing:

Seigo says the extra money in the Spark price pays for a few things. Some of it goes to shipping and distribution fees. Some goes to the group’s retail partners. But some of the money will also go back into the KDE Plasma Active and Mer Linux communities to spur further software development and possibly to pave the way for additional hardware devices.

That sounds reasonable. Buying the Spark for full-price is a great way to invest in the platform, but if you can’t wait, here is your opportunity to ‘cut the line’. I already have… Sorry Spark.

Now what?

Head on over to the Plasma Active homepage and read the installation instructions. Load this guy up and tell us what you think of it. Stay tuned to +The Powerbase for an official review of Plasma Two on the Spark hardware.

I saw “Spark” and I immediately jumped on “So someone is building OpenSPARC hardware?”

Looks like a great way to drive community development. Too bad I’m poor.

For anyone who likes to tweak around their own devices this looks like a great product. I am considering grabbing one for home use. For business users or consumers who want something that is ready to use right away I would recommend a more basic tablet. Some solid tablet reviews can be found here, the Asus review convinced me to pick up my Transformer and that has served me well for nearly a year.

Sir you linked the users to a sub-par version of the c71. All i have to say is shame. I know people want the Vivialdi tablet sooner then later, but if you to try to undermine this, at least link them to a version of the c71 that doesn’t suck Dean.

  Could you point me in the right direction? As far as I know, this is the one! All of the specs match. Please help.

    the upgraded c71 has a 3000mAH battery and 1gb DDR3 ram. the one you linked has a 2000mAH batter and I am guessing only 512mb DDR2 ram when you initially linked it.

    can also be found on ebay for great prices – around 120-135 including quick shipping
