FXI Cotton Candy, beefy specs, any interest?

Postby Gary13579 » Thu May 31, 2012 1:08 pm

The FXI Cotton Candy should be released in Norway this month. I may try to get my hands on one. The specs alone make it shine: a Samsung Exynos 4210 chipset (dual core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 CPUs, a quad core Mali400 GPU, this is the best dual core chipset outside of S4 Krait), 1 GB of ram, an HDMI port for connecting it directly to your TV, a USB *plug* for plugging it into a PC which you can then use it for USB storage, as well as running virtualized instances of your OS on your desktop, a microSDXC port (max 64gb atm, will grow), and a micro USB port. It has Bluetooth 2.1 and 802.11b/g/n. It currently can run Android 4.0 and Ubuntu. The thing all fits in a very tiny shell:

This thing is sexy, small, powerful, and only $200. Can we get some interest in this thing? Can we pray they get competent Linux drivers out of Samsung?

The FXI and it's recent brethren, we're essentially waiting on someone having a device, or a manufacturer making them available to us. We've got nothing to go on until then.
