First video of a working "One Laptop Per Child" laptop (Exclusive)
Last week the One Laptop Per Child project produced its first working prototype and for the first time showed it off publicly at the Red Hat Summit today.
Red Hat engineer and Mozilla Corporation board member Christopher Blizzard is carefully guarding the unit, but he was kind enough to give us a private demonstration. Watch the video below.

うほ、OLPCプロジェクトの100PCプロトタイプが動いている動画を見ました。動いとる動いとる。私の貴重な情報源であるEngadget Japaneseさんの情報によれば、デュアルモードディスプレイはまだ完成していないので普通の液晶を使っていること、バッテリーを載せていないこと、フラッシュメモリが量産機より多い1GBであることなどを除けばほぼ完成品に近いプロトタイプです。との事。デモ動画を眺めていて思ったのが、小さくて軽そうだという点です。デモを行っているエンジニアの方がアンドレ・ザ・ジャイアントみ... [Read More]

this video doesn't work in linux,
can you give us a link to the video
in an open format please???
Posted-by: | 3 Jun 2006 01:44:15
Seems a shame that they cover the 100% open laptop and make the video proprietary.
What's wrong with theora people?
Posted-by: thedave | 3 Jun 2006 01:48:19
It doesn't work on OS X either. Can you make it like a .move format or something?
Posted-by: colonels1020 | 3 Jun 2006 01:54:20
video works fine for me, and I'm not a windows user. All you need is a flash plugin.
Posted-by: torbjorn | 3 Jun 2006 02:04:29
sure it works in osx, I just watched it in Safari, maybe you just need a newer version of flash?
Posted-by: Benji | 3 Jun 2006 02:09:03
I'm using Firefox on Windows and it doeesn't work.

Not working for me too, just the sound...

"And yes, I have flash 7 stupid."
It's not like the latest Flash player release is version 8.5 or anything.

"It's not like the latest Flash player release is version 8.5 or anything."
And it's not like it's available on linux either.

Nifty, no trackpad! Why not just give them DOS and get it over with.
Posted-by: T | 3 Jun 2006 06:34:14
it works in OS X using Firefox, it's a flash video.

I WANT ONE!
Seriously... a laptop which spills won't endanger, that looks fairly small, has a carry handle, is made of rugged-looking plastic, AND is $100 so if it breaks or gets swiped you can just get a new one? AND you can plug in a USB drive for extra storage?
If it can browse the web then this is enough computer for millions of customers. Double the price, sell some in western markets, and fund the project with the profits!
Posted-by: John H. | 3 Jun 2006 07:32:13
Ya I think that would be an awsome idea for them to double the price and sell it and use the profits to help fund the project, I would buy one maybe 2. I also work as a Technology Facilatator for a School, so I am hoping to try one of these out when they are available.

PFftt.. this thing is a joke.
Typical American Bloat. All style and no substance.
If you want a cheap Linux machine, its already here: http://gbax.com/
The GP2X costs $150, has complete linux onboard, boots in 5 seconds, has literally 10's of thousands of applications available for it, is very, very easy to develop code for, and doesn't require the over-engineering of any significant components. It uses standard batteries (which can be used to power *other* things, unlike the OLPC custom-job), has a decent screen, and can most definitely be expanded with peripherals that would be useful in the developing world ..
To me, the OLPC is like, the Shuttle. Huge, over-hyped, and ultimately: useless.
Posted-by: Jay Vaughan | 3 Jun 2006 09:33:43
Has anyone else noticed that it doesn't appear to have a trackpad? Are kids going to be using this with external mice? Would limit things a bit, wouldn't it? (Especially outdoors, in places where desks may not be available, etc.)
Posted-by: Aral Balkan | 3 Jun 2006 10:04:29
Apple had this computer over 10 years ago, it was called the emate.
Posted-by: jay | 3 Jun 2006 12:17:19
The GP2X screen might be a little on the small side for web surfing and the lack of a keyboard might cause problems if you're trying to do anything requiring moderate to heavy typing. The usability is completely different here for the OLPC.
