The Box -
Opened Box - There were only two items inside - the unit and the charger.
The Charger - it is quite small - no larger than a mobile phone charger.
Front View -
Keyboard - note weird shaped buttons
Front Panel showing Mic in (pink left) and Audio Out (green right) ports -
Left Panel - the unit has very few ports. Aside from the audio ports, it has two USB 1.1 ports and a 10/100 Ethernet port.
Bottom and Right Panels - The right panel has the power port and what seems to be an empty mini USB port. Battery access is located at the bottom panel but is inconveniently screwed in.
More to come.

Is there anywhere you can buy one of these?
Linux is a kernel, not an OS.
Hi Chris,
As far as we know, you can buy it directly from HiVision. Sample price is USD130.
Hope this helps.
Hi Urza,
We hear you. But for lack of a more understandable term for the non-techies, we figured the term operating system would suffice for the purpose.
Our apologies then for those who are bothered by the loose application of the term. :)
This is how shall I say.... A product that I would most definitely love to have around the house, I mean it is beneficial.. Am I right or Am I Right?! Whether some may agree or not, it doesn't bug me to enjoy the company of one of these :)
If everybody has them, I think I should have the opportunity in luxuriating myself with the presence of making this my present! Gotta say, its mainly because how well you've explained everything
It's a great gift except for sometimes, but hey it surely does re-coupe and make up for boring and lost times..

The slot on the back looks more like one of those security cable holes than a us port.
USB port I meant
Hi Eugene,
Yes it does look like a Kensinton security hole but on closer look it had the shape of a mini USB port. But then I might be wrong.
I will try to post a close-up of the hole so that we can collectively try to determine what it is, given the lack of information from HiVision.
