“Will the third version be the charm for the PepperPad? The
original PepperPad, a Linux based home Internet tablet, was one of
the worst products I’ve ever reviewed: heavy, slow, and awfully
overpriced. But it looks like Pepper Computer may have learned from
my ‘constructive’ criticism: the new Pepper Pad 3 is lighter (2
lbs., which is a few ounces less than the original), faster, more
based on open standards (GTK+ and X11) and cheaper at $699.99.
Pepper also seems to have switched from Intel Bulverde processors
to the AMD LX800. If you buy it during June, a mail-in rebate will
bring that price down to $549.99…”
