Following on from the unveiling last week of the new $265 Spark Linux Tablet.
The developers Spark project has today revealed more details about
their new tablet which is expected to start shipping in May, with
pre-ordering starting this month.
Spark project reveals that the new Spark Linux Tablet will be
