The keyboard is designed for an under 10 years child's hand. I had a very quick play with one in Dickie's and found the keyboard a right pain on account of its size. These are machines are obviously designed for use by school children.
Currently the screens are similarly tiny, but I understand that a model with a larger screen is 'coming soon'. >From what I've read I would probably put the tiny children's computers in order from best to worst as: OLPC's XO; Asus EEEPC; and trailing a fair distance behind, the Intel Classmate. the eeePC has the big advantage over the other two in that you can buy one through normal retail channels. I'd love to know what a member of the target audience thought of them.
