you are right actually, what i remember i think is that it had a good gpu but none of the linux distros you could get for it were programmed to make use of it! maybe that has changed by now
in any case i am not sure if it is as bad as you make it out to be! it is just different to those things... running a web server or a c compiler or an irc bouncer or schism tracker would probably be a massive pain on an ipad (and they cost £400) and all those things are easy to do on a raspberry pi (which costs £40)
And Android devices fall in price every day. Emulation puts more musical power in your pocket than any piece of gear available. Those other things are fine, and a Pi will do them, but music was the topic.
]]>it works really well for schism tracker although going fullscreen proved too taxing, i guess the gpu is too weak. anyhow i wrote a couple of albums on it using schism tracker and since it is too slow to run anything else it's great 'cause there are no distractions!
this is actually a really cool idea to have a zero distractions schism tracker station!
