Great video. This device is well designed.
As for the software, just wait until the community around this brand new platform takes off.

I am lucky enough to have one of the new XO laptops from olpc. this device is nothing short of revolutionary.
more thoughtful design went into this object than the boeing 777.
it is not just about the hardware. this software -with its many opportunities for kids to program and experiment - will lead to even further innovation.
intel is acting like a lumbering elephant in its heavy-footed approach on this. sad but predictable.
before you make any judgement on this venture get hold of an XO and give it a whirl.
