Meh. I've seen cooler tablets.

These rugged, low-power computers use flash memory instead of a hard drive, and come with a distribution of Linux derived from Red Hat's Fedora as their pre-installed operating system, which comes stored in both a copy on the flash memory and in the on-board ROM backup.Are you excited about this latest offering from the OLPC foundation?

The simple dry weight of a device is not the only thing to consider when trying to decide which device to buy. For example, some very light devices require frequent battery replacement to remain in a functional state. Some devices require extra accessories and power adapters that increase the total weight you have to lug around. Which of these tablets weighs the least, all in?

Firstview Electronic HK Limited is showing what may be one of the worlds cheapest laptops, it runs Android on a low cost and low power VIA 8505 ARM based 533Mhz processor, with 128MB RAM, 2GB Nand flash, 7" 800x480 screen, WiFi, SD card reader, 3G dongle support. It's supposed to run 4 hours on a 2100mah battery, it loads websites slower than a more expensive computer, but it can be made for only $65 in the Chinese factories when ordered by big resellers in large quantities.
