I hadn't been to the website in quite a while. I see now they are going for version 3 of the machine, a touchscreen tablet running on the Marvel Arm chip. It's pretty open for any OS, but we'll only see Linux and Android on it I'm sure.

Anyways, I surfed the OLPC website and read the reviews on the hardware...not too bad really. I mean it looks to be a better built machine than these Chinese cheapo Android tablets that I and everyone owns these days.

You can get strated reading about the new tablet here: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/01/olpc-tablet-finally-arrives/

Sweet. Is it going to be OTPC in the future, I wonder...

"Outside, you can use it as a reflective e-ink type display" I wonder how that works...

It's using the same PixelQi technology that the original did, where you can switch to high contrast monochrome non-backlit mode.
