Spark Linux tablet gets detailed

If Android, Windows or iOS is not your preferred choice of operating system for a tablet, you might be interested in checking out an upcoming tablet called the Spark. What makes this tablet different from the competition is that its choice of operating system is Linux, and if you’re wondering why does that sound familiar, it might be because you have come across a tablet called the Zenithink C-71, with the Spark tablet essentially being a rebranded version of the Zenithink C-71.

In terms of specs, users can expect a 7” 800×480 display, and under the hood the Spark tablet will sport a 1GHz AMLogic processor with 512MB of RAM and a Mali 400 GPU to match. It will come with 4GB of internal storage and will support microSD cards for memory expansion. It will support WiFi but unfortunately support for 3G is pretty much non-existent for now. It will be powered by Mer, which is a community-based version of MeeGo Linux and pre-orders for the Spark tablet is expected to begin next week at $265, with the tablet shipping some time in May.
