Dragon.Knight Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I am just curious if anyone here has seen the new toy from Vtech the V Reader and wondered the same thing I have. how hard would it be to break this open and make this a bigger better 'toy' for those of us like me who grew up wishin they had a PADD watchin reruns of star trek. I have yet to get my hands on one of these but if anyone here has kids and have one of these layin around and would be willing to take a quick peak under the hood for me i would be in your debt. I would hate to spend the $60usd and then only be able to use the touch screen and maybe a couple other parts. I would however like to run a basic linux distro and use it as a'tablet' if it's possible. all i know right now is what is in the manual and so far im not seeing anythin that gives me a solid feeling i can do what id like to with this so please anyone let me know what you think should i buy one and hope its not a waste or what?

okiwan Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 well IF you can put linux on there, the new ubuntu has touch screen support. so that would be cool. other then that... star wars > star trek also you might want to find out what kind of processing power that thing has.

Dragon.Knight Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 lol well im not gonna debate which is better cause i enjoy both. I guess I will just start lookin at the thrift stores and yard sales in the area and see if i can find a v reader for a few $$ and see what i find i figure that if nothin else dependin on the chipset in it i can always try to load linux from the sd card slot but will just have to see. as i said before if anyone finds out anythin before i do please share what you find out. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
