Pinetab completely bricked
#5
I too was a bit dismayed that, regardless this was still in development, I still read this quote on the order page and this alone suggested the risk of a bit of inconvenience was acceptable:

"most core functionality works but some features (e.g. cameras) remain a work-in-progress."

It seems to me that a new Linux Tablet would need to have absolutely the single most basic core capability, ie., WiFi Capability, up and fully functional, before offering it to the public.  Pointing out that the cameras don't work doesn't qualify as a core function does it?  Also driving attention to the ARM unit from the Risk one also re-enforces the perception that the first shipment of tablets would in fact provide some basic functionality.   

Saksmito, I can't offer you any suggestions how to get your device up and running, as it seems I am in for a good long wait to get any use out of mine as well. 

But in the end, I have to blame myself, for falling for a business model that seems to boast that they offer a technically superior piece of hardware, that is in fact a brick.  A brick that comes with no guarantees that it will ever be more than just that. 

I wonder if this thing will run Android, or even...Windows?
