Unfortunately, PengPod is not going to produce a reasonable Plasma Active 
experience without some serious work by the purchaser. As can be seen in the 
demo videos when they launch Plasma Active, it is a non-integrated and rather 
broken installation of plasma-device from the plasma-mobile repository. So 
while it will certainly be *capable* of running Plasma Active, it is not 
shipped in that state.

I also can not speak to the GPL compliance of the device (just to make that 
clear). Just last week, I discovered that another "fully open" tablet was 
(unintentionally) violating the GPL with binary only kernel modules, so this 
is common even when the people behind the device mean well.
