CTL 2Go E10 Classmate PC For Kids Hands-On: Teddy Is Cuter
2:00AM Joanna Stern | I wouldn’t be caught carrying CTL’s 2Go E10 Classmate PC around. And I bet neither would Kylie. Meant for kids and classrooms, the new 10-inch netbook may be durable, but it looks like an outdated netbook for kiddies. More »

Hands On With The Intel Convertible Classmate
10:40AM Adrian Covert | After playing with a prototype of Intel’s Convertible Classmate, it more or less confirmed what I had suspected: there are some neat ideas at play, but there’s a reason why it’s aimed at schools. galleryPost('intelclasstabhands', 3, ''); More »

OLPC Origin: Bittersweet Success and Future of the XO Laptop
4:40AM Wilson Rothman | When I met with Nicholas Negroponte not long ago, he laughed at the coverage he’d received through the past few years, including our own portrayal of Intel chairman Craig Barrett and him as Beavis and Butthead. Far more hurtful have been the admonitions of his own former staffers who feel he has mismanaged the OLPC project. Nearly every one of the original staff had abandoned the project by 2008, often in disgust. But Negroponte remains stalwart: “My elephant skin is the thickness of steel,” he told me. Perhaps his resistance to criticism has been one of the project’s fatal flaws.

Hands On With Intel Classmate Tablet: So Far, Just a Touchy, Double-Jointed Netbook
6:10AM Gizmodo US Edition | When news of the Classmate tablet broke yesterday, it was hard to know what to think. In terms of specs, the devices is a far sight better that the Classmate 2.0, but aside from the new tablet form factor, the diminutive netbook didn’t seem to include any truly innovative new features. During the Intel Developer Forum today I got to fold around with the new Classmate, and my suspicions were confirmed: barring a late-stage killer feature, this iteration of Intel’s OLPC killer will be sort of lame.

Next-Gen Classmate Tablet Surfaces at Intel Developer Forum
7:49AM Adrian Covert | Brazilian blog Zumo unearthed these pics of the Classmate Tablet PC at IDF, but the touchscreen netbook apparently isn’t the Classmate 3.0.

Details, such as price and release date, were not announced. [Zumo via Engadget] More »

Mystery Intel Tablet is Panasonic Toughbook for Medical Types
6:24PM Kit Eaton | That mystery tablet PC that appeared at the end of Intel’s presentation at IDF last night is no classmate, or super-powered Speak&Spell either: It’s a Panasonic Toughbook-alike tablet. More specifically it’s a “Mobile Clinical Assistant” device, aimed at doctors and nurses who are under an increasing burden of digital data and imagery nowadays, though there’s not much more info available than that fact yet. Shucks… and there we were hoping for something a little more Classmate-y. [Ubergizmo] More »

Mystery Tablet Shown at Intel Event, Either the Classmate 3 or a Quad-Core Speak & Spell
10:10AM Gizmodo US Edition | At the end of an otherwise tepid presentation at the Intel Developer Forum today, Dadi Perimutter, head of Intel’s Mobility Group, dropped a bomb (via PowerPoint) on his audience: a mysterious tablet device, which could well be the next generation of the Classmate OLPC competitor. If that is the case, the OLPC might really have something to worry about. Sugar, the “revolutionary” Linux-based OS originally developed for the OLPC, is already in development for the Classmate project, not to mention that fact that this new picture indicates that Intel may have taken a few of Nick Negroponte’s visions for the OLPC XO-2 to heart, and possibly to production.
