Last evening we heard the One Laptop Per Child program could be revealing its lengthy-looked forward to XO-3 tablet at CES. We ll receive a hands-on then, however they were kind enough to transmit out a few pictures from the device today, plus they appear worth discussing.
Since you may recall, named comes with an 8 screen, so with this for scale, it appears to become around three quarters inch thick. The vibrant eco-friendly material seems to become silicone, and also the relaxation from the construction is going to be plastic. The project s founder, Nicholas Negroponte, wanted the unit to become indestructible, also it certainly doesn t look dainty, it doesn t seem to be waterproof although the front part could easily be water-resistant.
The silicone situation is great, and likely produces the indestructibility Negroponte covets. This is not merely a box-top you can observe within the picture above (high definition versions below) that certain side includes a curved cut inside it this can permit the user to select if the ports on top are uncovered or protected. Helpful for various things, I m sure. The pattern onto it appears like a photo voltaic cell, however it appears unlikely that a range of any efficiency might be shipped as low a cost because they d want.
Lastly you will find the ports themselves: energy, full-size USB (great for add-ons), two ports that are likely audio inside and out (or even both out, I can tell that as being a asked for feature), then one that appears just like a MicroSD slot, though I'm able to t make sure. There also seems to become a front-facing camera at the very top.
We ll convey more info at CES or as OLPC transmits it our way.
