OLPC has announced that OLPC XO BTest-2 laptops are now shipping to those who can test and develop the "$100 laptop" hardware and software. While full BTest-2 release notes are forthcoming, OLPC says that: The BTest-2 hardware is continuing beta test for the electronics, beta test of the new screen (this time with a diffuser improving it futher) and touch pad. The industrial design is only somewhat improved from BTest-1; most of the learning from BTest-1 on mechanical improvements could not be incorporated in time for BTest-2 and so BTest-3 will be significantly more rugged than BTest-1 or BTest-2. BTest-2's focus will start the process of testing the mesh network, and we are also working on suspend/resume, though as of this writing, suspend/resume is not yet running, though the preparatory work is now complete. ... http://www.olpcnews.com/prototypes/xo/olpc_btest-2_xo_laptop.html -- ________________________________________ http://olpc.ellak.gr
