I bought it for $100 on ebay. see specs here: http://www.akori.fr/eng_webpad_specs.html it works well with windowsXPembedded installed and also some linux dists were fast. i bought this as a experience prototype because i have wanted something like this for my casual needs in the kitchen or on the couch/coffee table or even in bed. also like to use as a digital photo frame as it does have an attached stand. i def enjoy this type of device around the house and would like to get a similar device with upgraded specs for well under $300. 10" screen seems perfect. going back several years, their have been various ‘webpad’ devices testing the waters. mostly outside the US.
