Kjetil Kilhavn said... Some people have asked about ports etc. Using Google's picture search gives some results. The case looks identical to that of a product sold as UPAD (ZT280-C71). If that is true the ports at the side are (left to right) earphone jack, power, 2 x mini USB, mini HDMI, and micro SD. The holes could be for ventilation.
There's a camera on one of the long edges, and it has multitouch support (demonstrated with five fingers).
Speaker on the back.

Seems to have more than enough power for Android 2.3. Without wireless it's not sellable, the bigger question is whether it also has support for mobile networks (most likely GSM due to coverage and power consumption).

Driving a car by tilting the device indicates availability of gyroscope or accelerometer, or both :-)

Specifications of the A9 Zenithink ZT-280 C71:
7" (16:9) screen size
800 x 480 resolution
1,3 Mpixels front camera
Built-in microphone
Built-in stereo speakers

CPU: ARM Cortex A9 1 GHz
RAM: 512 MB DDR2
Drive: 4 GB NAND fast flash
Connectivity: Wi-Fi + 3G (GSM) support
Micro-SD: supports up to 32 GB
HDMI output: 1080p

Battery: 3000 mAh at 7,4 volts or 6000 mAh at 4,7 volts

Last, but not least, 355 grams

Thanks GG! I've been wondering. Wish it were all KDE. Wish I could redo my Acer a500 with something like Kubuntu! Hopefully and hopefully the "Spark" will do just that!
