yeah, for the price of a dreamplug you can get a netbook. dreamplug are useless.

btw, did you get video acceleration on yours?



Yes, I do - it's OpenGLES2 using the imx drivers. I think it's PowerVR device. glmark2-es2 works (though I think there is an artifact with the z-buffer).

They have forums at power-developer.org - very nice bunch of folks.

It's sell Ubuntu 10.10, until they get their drivers up to 11.04, but on the site there are many other different distress, and even people experimenting with armhf (hard floating point).


openGLES is fine, i was asking more about hardware acceleration for video.

if you play a full HD video, does it skip frames like crazy? is the CPU on 100%?


I haven't tried any video on it. Check power-developer.org


The draw (pun intended) of the DreamPlug is the appliance-like form factor combined with very low power consumption. Also keep in mind that the plug computers are kind of a marketing tool to get companies to buy their custom-built ARM devices from GlobalScale. If the PogoPlug and similar plugs are any indication, at high enough volumes, it should be possible to make a profit selling a finished device for the price of a D2plug.
