Will Flash Flash Player & Java SE (not JavaME) run on the XO-1.75, it being non-x86? For Android, Flash Player requires an ARMv7 (Cortex) + to run. Flash Player 9 was running on the N900 which ran Maemo. Video calls & streaming over internet is now one of the most important uses for developing c

I think the best way to use an interactive whiteboard is to use Sugar as a VirtualBox guest in full screen mode. I would not expect to use an XO ... schools with interactive whiteboards tend also to have far better laptops and computers available for teachers to use. For learner display via inter

According to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO-1.75 the XO-1.75 will have 1GB of RAM. This is the same amount as in the XO-1.5. Might this become a performance bottleneck? Might there be an option to purchase units with more RAM? Sridhar ___ Devel mailing lis
