We first posted of this P07 (Winpad) based Ubuntu just before Christmas, and since then we’ve been amazed by the number of queries about the device. We recently spoke to the developers and they kindly shared a few more including a more detailed idea of the specification and pricing.

The outside of the Ubuntu Tab is made of a alloy with a sandblasted finish, the feel is pretty comfortable, despite the unit being thick.
We we not able to confirm the weigh, but in out hands it seem as light as the iPad.
Booting time was pretty fast and the overall system was very responsive.
Although there are gravity sensors built in to the design, they we not active when we had a try, but we are assured that they will be once production starts.
