Digital-Cube is one of the Korea’s leading PMP manufacturers and they have recently introduced their new iStation T5 with 3D User Interface. iStation T5 comes with an integrated 3G HSDPA module, new main chipset and high-performance 3D feature in response to user requests.

iStation T5 also offers FM tuner, 8GB or 16GB internal memory and a SDHC memory card slot and a 4.8-inch 800×480 LCD display. It’s not really the first T5 out there but it’s definitely the first fifth-generation PMP with 3D user interface and nVidia Tegra as a possible chip.

Some of the Key features include

• New chipset (hopefully Nvidia’s Tegra)
• HSDPA integrated module
• 3D User Interface design
• 8GB or 16GB internal memory
• LCD display
  
• FM tuner
• 4.8-inch WVGA display
• Resolution would be about 800 x 480

Now that the company is owned by Telson(the company which manufactures mobile handsets to export Digital Cube) it may just established international presence overseas.

This installed flawlessly on my HP laptop, I had immediate multimedia access and connectivity. I had MS Windows running on the same laptop which made it run slow. The Ubuntu installation brought it back to life. One Major flaw I see is that unlike Windows x64, Fedora, openSUSE and Mandriva (to name a few) the support for running 32-bit apps on a 64-bit OS is very poor. The leaning curve is a still steep to transfer the proficiency / habits from Windows. But it sounds like Ubuntu has gained one more user =)

The Ubuntu promise

• Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates.
• Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from Canonical and hundreds of companies around the world.
• Ubuntu includes the very best translations and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer.
• Ubuntu CDs contain only free software applications; we encourage you to use free and open source software, improve it and pass it on.

Configuring the IPv6 tunnel can be easily done in Derbian and Ubuntu Linux using Tunnel Setup Protocol Client (tspc). TSPC is a signalling protocol used to negotiate tunnel setup parameters between two tunnel end-points. Tunnel Setup Protocol Client allows you to connect and browse IPv6 network using IPv4. But before installing TSPC, you need to get IPv6 access through Freenet6. Just register at Freenet6 to obtain a username and password.

Now install tunnel setup prtocol client (tspc) with the following command.

sudo aptitude install tspc

or

sudo apt-get install tspc

This will install tspc.
Now its time to configure tspc. Open the default configuration file located at /etc/tsp/tspc.conf. Open this file in a text editor using a following command :

sudo gedit /etc/tsp/tspc.conf

Now you should give the username, password and hostname registered at Freenet6.

userid : itech
password : 12345678
server ; broker.freenet6.net

Search, userid, server, and passwd variable in file and set them as follows:

userid=your-name
server=broker.freenet6.net
passwd=your-password
