What would my ideal education ultraportable look like?

The OLPC XO, Intel Classmate, and Asus Eee all bring important features to the table and put 1:1 computing models within reach of many more districts than ever before. However, all have merits and detriments, compromises, and baggage. The XO struggles with performance, stability, and distribution models. ...

Will you G1G1?

Will you G1G1?You already know the answer, Chris ...The Intel Classmate is a better solution. Besides, rather than G1G1, the BETTER choice is to just send OLPC $400 and deduct it from your federal taxes. If you believe in OLPC, that is the right answer. If you...

Now we're hearing that it won't be introduced at Apple's September event, despite a nearly constant churn of rumors about its existence. ...
