ok - adam's going back to visit the factory tomorrow, to collect the 20 netbooks. by unpacking them from the (2kg!) cardboard boxes and putting them in bubblewrap instead, he can just reach the 1kg target. he reckons he'll have them all packed by thursday, which means that most people will have the machines within 2-3 days of that. also, we heard that there is a U.S. company that has placed a large order for the machines, which is fantastic news, because it secures a future for this very new design.
they're using the lovely MOS (from mid-fun) which is GTK-based, we have nooo details right now but it looks gnome-ish or enlightenment-ish: http://mid-fun.com is entiirely chinese, no english language, and no links to GPL source code downloads, either, whoops. a large order will sort that out. also just so you know, when he's there, adam's going to have a look around, see if he can find any $2 usb webcams and $3 USB GPS dongles etc. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
