The One Laptop Per Child Foundation has teamed up with chip maker Marvell to produce an inexpensive tablet computer for the education market.
OLPC XO-3 concept
OLPC , founded by Dr. Nicholas Negroponte, has committed to distributing a new family of XO tablets that will have some very desirable features, even for non-school children: based on low watt version of Marvell’s Armada processor , multi-lingual, multi-touch soft keyboard, multi-OSes (Android, Ubuntu, Windows Mobile), and 1080p video.
The plan is to have a prototype ready for CES 2011. For those who want to see something closer to realization for more general usage, check out Marvell’s 10″ Android tablet based on its Moby reference architecture that was recently shown off at the Netbook Summit.
