Still Have a Little Faith left the OLPC project? Well, we’ll need: designer Yves Behar has unveiled its latest design concept for the company with the goal-per-view at $ 75, and that the entire screen. Compliance with the trend towards new shelving, the XO-3 is a touch screen of 8.5 x 11, with a ring of folding in the grip angle and backs.
To keep things minimal that the plan is to use Palm-style pre-induction load, and less than a watt of energy for maintaining a SIC “8 GHz []” (800?) Processor and a screen pixel power Qi. At half the thickness of an iPhone, this point of view is obviously banking heavily on advanced technology is assumed in 2012 (launch date), but not too hard to see someone do this factor ISH get in shape at the moment. Nick Neg is not proud, though: “Of course, if I were a trade body which deals with investment, predicting that in the past, not to invest more, but not exploited commercially. If only half of what we obtained suggest do, that could be very large.
Update: According to our man Nicholas Negroponte, who took time from his busy schedule to send an email with the information, there are two versions of the XO will see us before the XO-3. Nick says that the XO-1 .5 will be available in January for about $ 200 – an update to the current version. As I had heard before, a 1.5 swap current iteration for the VIA, AMD, and doubles the speed of both DRAM and Quad Flash memory on the current version. Moreover, said that beginning in 2011, the XO-1, 75 (replacing the screen of 2.0 psychotic impressive dual screen model) will appear, sport and rubber bumpers on its outer shell, a touch screen, 8, 9 inches on the inside, and placed on a Marvell ARM processor, which allows twice the rate of one quarter of energy consumption. This version will be sold somewhere in the range of $ 175. So, not 2.0 … directly to the XO-3 .0!
