I bought one a few weeks ago off of seller 'inetbros' on eBay....very quick shipping and have been responsive to follow-up emails...

As for Aigo, it's pretty nice little device. Midinux OS distro that it comes with works well. Only two issues I have with it.

1) There's no app for add/remove programs.

2) There's no driver for USB ethernet support. So, as far as I know, only can use WiFi connection to get online right now.

Otherwise, nice unit, comes with nice case...without case it does fit in my shirtpocket...

Display is sharp and bright.

Keyboard is OK...

HTH.

Also, WinXP drivers are supposed to be released in about a week or so..along with a Midinux OS update too....

OK, scratch issue #1 above in my post....thanks to our French friends, there's no a hack file that 'unlocks' some hidden features in OS and reveals a Add/Remove software app....

So, things are looking up on Aigo....

Check out Pocketables.net forums as well as new link for more info.... ;-)
