KDE developer Aaron Seigo has announced[1] a new upcoming tablet

computer, called the Spark, that will ship with KDE's Plasma

environment. The device, which has a seven-inch display and a 1GHz ARM

CPU, will sell for =E2=82=AC200 ($262). Underneath the shiny KDE surface, t=

Spark reportedly runs Mer, a community-driven fork of the Linux-based

MeeGo platform. Seigo says that the device will be open and that users

will be able to install custom firmware.

Although the Spark's hardware specifications aren't particularly

impressive and the device is unlikely to attract a mainstream audience,

it will appeal to open source software developers who want an

inexpensive hardware environment for developing touchscreen-friendly

applications with Qt and QML.

"This is a unique opportunity for Free software. Finally we have a

device coming to market on our terms. It has been designed by and is

usable by us on our terms," he wrote. "We are not waiting for some big

company to give us what we desire, we're going out there and making it

happen together. Just as important: the proceeds will be helping fuel

the efforts that make this all possible."

KDE enthusiasts commenting on Seigo's blog have pointed out that the

hardware appears to have been sourced from a Shenzhen manufacturer

called Zenithink[2] and that it resembles one of the company's Android

tablets.
