Comments on: Hands On The Pepper Pad http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/10702/pepper-hardware/ A bunch of stuff I would have emailed you about.

But I’ve been arguing that attention to such details runs counter to the purpose and intended use of the device. Many computer users can name (and point to) the CPU in their computer, but who of those can tell me what CPU or chipset drives their cellphone? How many of them can identify the operating system on their phone? [...] [...] The Pepper Pad’s technical details — a lightweight Linux powered device with an 8.4-inch SVGA touchscreen, Wi-Fi auto-configuration, Bluetooth device support, multi-gigabyte disk, full QWERTY thumb-keypad, stereo speakers, and more — are already well reported.

To get me started is Mike Cane’s hands on report from some time spent with it at LinuxWorld Expo. Nokia is pushing Maemo.org to support the developer/hacker community, and there’s already some interesting work being done. And Mike Cane is keeping things up to date at Mike Cane’s ersatz 770 blog.

I'm an engineer over at Pepper and can't reveal exact production numbers or ship dates for individual customers but I'd recommend hitting the contact form at www.pepper.com to request your shipping status.

no word on shipping date. If I was a real journalist I would have pushed for that answer.

[1] Have you had any word whether it actually HAS started shipping? Also, as you know, I have a keen interest to know what e-book software will come with the Pepper Pad and if that will (as looks likely) be relegated to a later release or not.
