No images yet. 1-to-1 pilot announced for Washington DC in "an at-risk school". OLPC contribution mentioned. Positioning: * Vehicle for Armada 600 processor * High performance multimedia capable * Low price (yet another confirmation of the magic "$100" number) * e-reader. * Replace bulky, heavy, out-of-date textbooks (1 zillion parents will agree about the weight) * Partnerships with educational textbook publishers (announcement made at Future of Publishing conference keynote) * "Collaboration" through internet connectivity * Complementary to OLPC, since targeted at developed countries. >From the PR: "support for multiple software standards including full Adobe Flash, Android™ and Windows Mobile." Note that Adobe's new strategy to counter the nonFlash iPhone/iPad is to use the word "full"; implying that nonFlash devices cannot access the "full internet". It is rumored that Apple's iPad will be released with an education focus or package.
