This one actually looks like it's properly aimed at children, though. Using the USB key storage/authentication model so kids don't have to try remember passwords, WITHOUT having no passwords and making the security functions of Linux null and void.

I can forsee problems with document incompatibility though -- well, unless the new Office 2007 service pack with ODF support comes out before July.]]>May 21st 2008 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/emtecs-gdium-em-pc-laptop-does-not-look-like-the-eee/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/emtecs-gdium-em-pc-laptop-does-not-look-like-the-eee/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module

The product seems different, thinner than on this picture. Looks OK to me.
And a 10" screen and 4 hours autonomy are quite appealing]]>Jun 5th 2008 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/emtecs-gdium-em-pc-laptop-does-not-look-like-the-eee/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/emtecs-gdium-em-pc-laptop-does-not-look-like-the-eee/http://www.lineoid.com/viewnews-7933.html

It seems that it has a MIPS processor from ST Microelectronics which is nothing but a Chinese 'Loongson processor'. It is interesting to note that somebody else make processors other than Intel, AMD and VIA.

For me the processor matters little, as long as I can surf from 'Googleplex' to 'Gayaplex'. The only problem with Gdium is ... from processor to keyboard.. "It does not resemble the ASUS Eee PC at all".]]>Jul 21st 2008 12:17AM
