Why not have an upgrade option all the way up to 64GB? Is the form factor 1.8"?

If this shell is for Windows version, it actually shows that Windows interface is honestly not so good for tablet PC. So, why still used it? Remember that origami interface? is there someone still remember it exist? Bottom line,kids needs special OS/user interface for them. Specially designed from their perspective. And I don't think Windows is. Linux is a maybe. Sugar? I think of some kind of "Edubuntu" Netbook Remix :) Ahh..that would be perfect.

People in my school divides in two categories: 1) Those who play games or only browse net on their computers - Windows users 2) Those who know a lot about programming, technologies - Linux or Mac users - has greater portion of mathematically/physically based people with good universal knowledge than in the 1st category.. And there are three IT teachers: Very dull female teacher using windows, moderate male teacher using windows and open-minded (and the main of them three) male teacher using Linux and Macs (not everyone knows that). Guess which teacher everyone wants to have lessons with! (with the third one, obviously) (Personally I use 80% of time Mac, 10% of time Windows and 10% of time Linux (it was 90% Linux before Mac)) I agree with Daniel.

If they really are going to do things for which a computer is required, such as inspecting the internals of the machine and programming, using Windows is a big mistake. I hope most education authorities will understand that Windows is brain damaging as an educational tool, making children less empowered of technology than free software solutions.

How ironic. “Another low-cost laptop-style computer — aimed at students in developing nations — is available via the One Laptop Per Child project.”
