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.
