Pepper Pad offers Linux Web tablet for sofa surfing (Buffalo News)

The Buffalo News reviews the Linux-based Pepper Pad 3. "Even if the universal remote function had worked, its usefulness would be limited by the Pad's battery life of about two and a half hours. The sleep mode would extend this, but you wouldn't want to wait even 9 seconds for your remote to boot up every time you wanted to pause a DVD. The battery life issue isn't unique to the Pad - it's something that bedevils the whole field. 'Wireless' Web tablets just don't seem that useful if have to keep them plugged in."
