the dark spot and halo on the screens of the laptops in the pic is...?
What I want to know is whether they replaced/ fixed/ redesigned the keyboards that were having issues staying in one piece.
I haven't tried Sugar, and maybe it really wasn't moving in the direction they hoped fast enough, hence their current focus on XP. But the cool definitely stops as soon as Windows is mentioned. Microsoft would likely be doing them no favours pricing XP for them, too. Making it hard to compete with other companies doing the same (including Microsoft).
What I know is I want the awesome battery life, solar (and crank) charging and low-maintenance goodness in a device like this ... and I want to be able to buy it locally. If it drifts down to the masses, I consider that a great thing overall.
2.5 hour laptops with no real charging options but the AC mains have got to go. It's beyond a joke, yet they still flood the market. At best they are AC-bound creatures with occasional frolics outdoors. This is an outdoors creature with awesome battery life and real options when charging outdoors (both solar and manual).
