[PlanetCCRMA] O2 joggler: linux tablet as music control surface w/ qmidictl/qmidinet ??

[Niels Mayer]

An interesting possibility for control-surface for
http://qmidictl.sourceforge.net/qmidictl-index.html via
http://qmidinet.sourceforge.net/qmidinet-index.html using the cheap and
hacker-friendly "O2 Joggler" tablet (instead of expensive Nokia N900).

50 quid (for 14 days from 2nd April) and free delivery gets you a 7

inch touch screen device with:-


> 1.3GHz Intel Atom CPU

1GB storage

512MB RAM

Wired ethernet

Broadcom b/g/n WiFi

Audio + headphone jack

USB port

> It seems to come with a cut-down version of Ubuntu Hardy and can be

flashed to run 'proper' Ubuntu or Netbook Edition if you wish.


> I thought it might be useful as a mythtv frontend for my desk or

bedside, or maybe even an IP telephone when paired with a suitable USB

headset.

Question: Does F12 run on the joggler?? Any experience/interest in getting
qmidictl on joggler?? This combo might well make the cheapest MIDI control
surface on the market, for those that can't afford the dreamy multitouch
