o2 Joggler = perfect Squeezebox Touch alternative and Tablet PC

[mattjax05]

I have been using an o2 joggler for a couple weeks and for the price it's wonderful thanks to the ability to run Joli/Ubuntu Linux based operating systems. There is a Squeezeplay App for either the native OS or Joli/Ubuntu. All in it cost me £65 including a 4gb memory stick for the Joli image. I have posted some pics. It's now basically a tablet pc. Anyone else use one of these?

Yeah, I have been thinking about getting one for a while. What has put me off in a way (but also a good thing) is that they are costing the same and sometimes more than o2 sold them for.

There are loads of web sites about them, I'm thinking an android o/s would be great!

Very happy with mine, took a little bit of research time but not too complicated to understand what is needed to run another OS. I use Joli OS but tried Ubuntu and both work great. A little awkward for finger pressing though but maybe a stylus work work and you could use a mouse - touch screen keyboard is excellent. And it runs most windows programs including Spotify - no need to have lappy on for that anymore. Of course if the price was just for the native OS then maybe I wouldn't have bought one however with just the native OS you can still install Squeezeplay on that vary simply.

I'd say the only downfall for me is that there is no onboard power supply. Other than that it's a must for most Squeezebox owners.
