I've just ordered a Trim Slice, so happy to help with testing on this platform. Should take 3 weeks to get here with any luck.

It's feasible we can get Arch Linux ARM running on this right? I've also seen an article in the Debian wiki for a successful install.

It will run just fine, we'll just need to make a kernel for it. Last night the armv7 rootfs was booted on a Viewsonic GTablet which has the Tegra2.

How much did you pay for the dev version?

Have mine on order for over a week. Think their forum says you can't change the ssd.
On twitter there are 100 posts mentioning raspberrypi to every trimslice.

I thought it was the thicker device, because of ssd inside.
It gets quite warm.
I thought USB ports were failing, had to keep moving keyboard, but think its ok.
I do not like gnome ubuntu. It took ages and was wondering if it was working, then straight into user trim gui

Glad to see we have someone with the device finally. I'll get a tegra kernel built and get it into a tarball. Hop on IRC sometime, I don't spend nearly the same amount of time here as I do there.
