Disappointing really. Those photos look like mockups, and the video shows no actual content.

Still though I'm definitely drooling over the prospect of these. it could be incredibly useful as an educational learning platform - far more than the OLPC is/was.

I'm pretty sure that the pictures are mock-ups. I'm wondering if Marvell is the company that will make this happen. I like the design.
