I see that Clam AV is not available for Android. Anyone know of any
freedom-respecting AV software for Android?

Its kind of hard to get a virus on android so it not much as a problem as
the AV companys are making out, just use fdroid for utilities and get the
main stream apps only from gplay

Thanks Ioan. That's what I thought. Somebody less savvy asked me to
check, after showing me what looked to me like sub-ethical AV software
bundled by Asus on their Android tablets. You know the kind of thing:
hey look, there's a big but unspecified exploit, suggested fix being to
buy their full featured product. I gave it short shrift but I thought
I'd check for a reputable product I could recommend anyway, since
experience tells me that some people won't be satisfied by "don't
bother". It's going to be coming up regularly as I'm volunteering
teaching an introductory Android tablet course for seniors over the next
few weeks.

Hi
Did anyone order a Ubuntu Tablet other than me here? Some people are
starting to receive them now (
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/04/bq-m10-ubuntu-tablet-shipping-now )
but I didn't pre order one early, so maybe got another week or two to
wait yet. I read this a bit earlier this morning and I thought it was
worth a share here:
http://freedompenguin.com/the-linux-crowd/ubuntu-tablet-im-grabbing-one/
Looks like the pre order offer is still available for now where a case
and screen protector will be included as well:
https://store.bq.com/gl/ubuntu-edition
For any of you who do not know, the main reason most people who have
bought the tablet are wanting the tablet is since the convergence
feature, that will adjust the interface depending on what's connected to
it, keyboard, mouse, and monitor, but also by default allow desktop
programs to work on it such as Firefox, Libre Office, The Gimp, and
Gedit. However the defaults are going to be a bit boring of course for
such programs and so lots of people will be apt-get ing lots of other
programs it seems once it's set up to do that. Got to put the tablet in
read write mode currently, which also stops it receiving over the air
updates.
There's also a x86 Ubuntu tablet trying to get crowd funded it seems,
but I don't have interest in buying that:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ubuntu-windows-tablet-mj-technology,31330.html
I seriously have more interest in possibly buying this though:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd-win-intel-z8550-win-10-os-game-console#/story
Even though going by the Indiegogo comments how well it works with a
Linux distro or not is questionable. However Windows 10 for a Windows
version is sort of ok (okish) really so woudn't?t be to bad for a small
using at times gaming/PC device.
When I saw the crowd funding campaign for the GPD Win it reminded me of
the Linux based Open Pandora (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_%28console%29
https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pandora/ ) which I was
considering maybe buying a few years back, but never did. That's
currently out of stock it seems whilst a device update is being waited
for it seems. Interestingly though I noticed that the GPD XD with less
storage space than what's currently being offered on Indiegogo as a
limited 128GB edition (
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd-xd-limited-edition-with-memory-of-128gb#/
) is available in the Open Pandora shop.
Like with the GPD Win I am thinking of maybe buying the GPD XD with the
128GB storage, even though I am not a gamer. However I do prefer
classic styled games, or retro gaming even as I believe it's called
these days. The GPD XD is a maybe, to go with a possible GPD Win.
Actually would the GPD Win be worth it, or mostly a waste of money
really? Same for the GPD XD? it was more of a if I buy the GPD Win I may
as well buy the GPD XD with lots of storage space as well, I guess.
What's a bit annoying though is that any tech such as what's been
mentioned in this email (with the exception of the below Nexdock) is
always going to be around the ?200 pounds mark, as in about ?200
pounds. Also yes the two GPD devices I have mentioned are crowd funded
so there could be issues receiving or trying to recieve them, but GPD
have actually sold devices before, such as the GPD XD with less storage
space.
I am really looking forward to receiving my Nexdock (
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/nexdock-the-world-s-most-affordable-laptop--2#/
) which is nearly on it's last day of funding and then won't be
available to buy any more at all, that version. I emailed here about it
before with no response, but yes it can have various Linux devices
connected to it. I am going to be connecting Raspberry Pi's to it it
seems, but also my Remix Mini's, and it seems Ubuntu Phones as well,
etc. It may look like a thing for Windows 10 or mostly going by a quick
look at the campaign, but look at the campaign closely it is a general
purpose device, for Linux, Android, etc as well :), and even giving a
lap top another monitor like if it was connected to a TV.
Best Regards
Sebastian
