I'm confused, what where they trying to do before GPL? where they trying to keep it closed source?

They used open source code, without including the license or info that they were using that code, in their bootable USB maker.

They accidentally violated the license agreement.

by what? not including the GPL text file? or by not publishing the source code?

LOL - was that really an accident?

Actually, likely, because there was zero chance that they wouldn't get caught.

I'm going to say yes, just an oversight on their part.

This is some cool stuff the more you think about it. No longer do you need a $300-400 thin client (you didn't really before anyway but). This can do multiple other things locally and still give you RDP and NX abilities, which are pretty much all you need.

Here's a good review of the Jide UltraTablet... If you were on the edge like me and need a little push, there's a link at the end of the article to get it for $250.

I just put my order in for it today.

LOL that's a surface running android.

That's one way to improve the Surface

That's a Surface RT? That thing would be a rocket if it had anything but Windows on it. Loved the touchscreen and the keyboard.

@dafyre I want one so bad haha.

It seems to be quite the tablet for $250. If you read the reviews, it says it may stutter when playing games and all... but I don't really plan to play too many... Unless I can get epsxe to work on it... or maybe a PS2 emulator... Just to see if it will work, lol.
