Question NorhTec's new Gecko edubook (sub $200) performance of Xcore86 compares to what?


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
HI,
this:
edubook
here has a really interesting options:
1. 8x AA bateries 2000mAh rated inclusive (4hr runtime?)
2. fan-less (=sealed to dust)
3. 4x USB (3 out/1 inside)
4. internal 2.5" PATA hdd bay
6. internal+external SDcard slot
7. 1024x600 resolution LED backlit 9" display
8. Internal PSU/charger
9. 512MB DDR2 ram/8GB solid state storage/1GHz CPU/accelereated VGA for $200

unknown is however to what it's actual performance compares?

A. Just how good is the $65 Xcore86 running @1GHz?
B. Can it be overclocked/modded and to what extent?
C. Can it be idled down and how does it interact with Linux's ACPI?
D. Just how usable the LCD on daylight is?

Anyone has such a device?

I took first steps to acquiring some, but like to have some "hands on" of a fellow LG-er.
