WHy didn’t you try to install/compile gnash on it ? Would be a perfect argument …

I have just watched the video and I have to say that even in this state, the Ubuntu port looks quite powerful.

OpenOffice 3.2 Writer loaded in under 10 seconds after using a lot of memory-intensive applications and running from the SD card instead of the internal SSD (which is at least 2 times faster, possibly even more). Pretty impressive.

I would say, this can easily be on par with Atom netbooks if Ubuntu is properly ported to it.

Go Toshiba Go !!!

The slate version will come a lot upward on my slate ranking list for Christmas if these machine get an official, Toshiba sponsored Ubuntu port.
