A heads up for uk users,

There is a chance there may be a very nice 7" Colour touch screen wifi linux based remote control available for XBMC for £50

O2 have reduced the Joggler unit to £50, and it has already been hacked to run standard linux builds, this may well becone a great cheap remote control for XBMC

Specs

7" Capacitive Touch Screen
1.1ghz Atom CPU with 512Mb RAM and 1GB Storage
Wireless B/G/N Built in

Runs a locked down linux based OS, but has been cracked to run standard linux builds

Loads of info at

http://www.joggler.info

And Info on the deal at

http://shop.o2.co.uk/joggler




for £50 possibly worth a punt for modification

(It already streams divx / H264 from XBMC as standard without modification

Already have one of these on order, don't think it will be much use as a remote though as it has no battery.. so you'd be tied to the wall.

hate these offers when you cant avail of them! (In Ireland so o2 wont ship here)

I've made a small howto on putting XBMC on the O2 joggler using ubuntu 9.10.

I wish we had similar device in the USA for the same price.

I take it that we lose wireless support when we do this ? So no internet right ?

Have you tried using latest XBMC build that supports VAAPI since pineview does support it ?

There is an ethernet port at back. You only loose wifi if you want to do this and not use a USB hub, there is an extra USB port so you can use that for your boot drive.

I might try a more recent build sometime soon, however I don't use it for video playback so i'm currently fine without hardware accelrated video playback.

Oh cool I've just got a Joggler and need to get XBMC running on it thanks for all your hard work lordmozilla
