Having been working with MeeGo through Fedora I'm looking already at
what is needed to get sugar on the MeeGo platform. They also support
ARM as well. Watch this space over the coming weeks.

You are correct.  Android development is Java based.  It is based on a subset 
of Java functionality with the android API built on top of that.

If you want a QT based environment look at Meego http://meego.com/developers.

If you port to Qt then for just a a little more effort you get android

Folks -

Below is the text version of the press release OLPC and Marvell
issued this morning, announcing our agreement to work together on
the tablet-based efforts we've been calling "XO-3.0" and Marvell
has been calling "Moby" (both previously announced).  The link
takes you to the same document with a few pictures.

We're just starting this cooperation, so there are things we don't
know yet, but the release pretty well covers what we do know.  I
think it's important to recognize that our goal with Marvell is to
work with them to make a family of tablet products possible, not
all of which will be "OLPC" products.  That's something new, and
potentially confusing, but we think it can really help us both
broaden the community working with us, and help drive our own
product costs down by increasing volumes.

In some of the press interviews around this release, there's
discussion of the goal of introducing something at CES 2011 (in
January).  That's important to Marvell, but that device will
certainly not be an "XO-3.0" and probably won't be an OLPC product
at all.  But it's one of the steps along the way.  Remember that
this cooperation is intended to help our goals as well as
Marvell's goals, so some of the things announced from the
partnership won't be things directly pertinent to OLPC's product
plans.

As we've previously announced, our XO-1.75 product, bringing a
Marvell ARM-based motherboard to the current XO-1 laptop platform,
is the next product release in our efforts to provide ARM-based,
lower-power devices to achieve our mission.

Marvell and OLPC Empower Education Industry to Revolutionize the
Classroom Experience through Advanced, Affordably-Priced Tablets

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 27
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a global
organization whose mission is to help provide every child in the
world access to a modern education, and Marvell, a worldwide
leader in integrated silicon solutions, have agreed to jointly
develop a family of next-generation OLPC XO tablet computers based
on the Marvell? Moby reference design.  This new partnership will
provide designs and technologies to enable a range of new
educational tablets, delivered by OLPC and other education
industry leaders, aimed at schools in both the U.S. and developing
markets. Marvell is also announcing today it has launched
Mobylize, a campaign aimed at improving technology adoption in
America's classrooms.

The new family of XO tablets will incorporate elements and new
capabilities based on feedback from the nearly 2 million children
and families around the world who use the current XO laptop.  The
XO tablet, for example, will require approximately one watt of
power to operate (compared to about 5 watts necessary for the
current XO laptop).  The XO tablet will also feature a
multi-lingual soft keyboard with touch feedback, enabling it to
serve millions more children who speak virtually any language
anywhere in the world.

OLPC/Marvell Press Release

2010-05-27 Thread Ed McNierney
Folks -

Below is the text version of the press release OLPC and Marvell issued this 
morning, announcing our agreement to work together on the tablet-based efforts 
we've been calling "XO-3.0" and Marvell has been calling "Moby" (both 
previously announced).  The link takes you to the same document with a few 
pictures.

We're just starting this cooperation, so there are things we don't know yet, 
but the release pretty well covers what we do know.  I think it's important to 
recognize that our goal with Marvell is to work with them to make a family of 
tablet products possible, not all of which will be "OLPC" products.  That's 
something new, and potentially confusing, but we think it can really help us 
both broaden the community working with us, and help drive our own product 
costs down by increasing volumes.

In some of the press interviews around this release, there's discussion of the 
goal of introducing something at CES 2011 (in January).  That's important to 
Marvell, but that device will certainly not be an "XO-3.0" and probably won't 
be an OLPC product at all.  But it's one of the steps along the way.  Remember 
that this cooperation is intended to help our goals as well as Marvell's goals, 
so some of the things announced from the partnership won't be things directly 
pertinent to OLPC's product plans.

As we've previously announced, our XO-1.75 product, bringing a Marvell 
ARM-based motherboard to the current XO-1 laptop platform, is the next product 
release in our efforts to provide ARM-based, lower-power devices to achieve our 
mission.

One Laptop per Child and Marvell Join Students Around the World
 
Marvell and OLPC Empower Education Industry to Revolutionize the Classroom 
Experience through Advanced, Affordably-Priced Tablets

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- One 
Laptop per Child (OLPC), a global organization whose mission is to help provide 
every child in the world access to a modern education, and Marvell, a worldwide 
leader in integrated silicon solutions, have agreed to jointly develop a family 
of next-generation OLPC XO tablet computers based on the Marvell® Moby 
reference design.  This new partnership will provide designs and technologies 
to enable a range of new educational tablets, delivered by OLPC and other 
education industry leaders, aimed at schools in both the U.S. and developing 
markets. Marvell is also announcing today it has launched Mobylize, a campaign 
aimed at improving technology adoption in America's classrooms.  

The new family of XO tablets will incorporate elements and new capabilities 
based on feedback from the nearly 2 million children and families around the 
world who use the current XO laptop.  The XO tablet, for example, will require 
approximately one watt of power to operate (compared to about 5 watts necessary 
for the current XO laptop).  The XO tablet will also feature a multi-lingual 
soft keyboard with touch feedback, enabling it to serve millions more children 
who speak virtually any language anywhere in the world.  

The device is also decidedly "constructionist" in nature.  By design, it 
combines hardware and software to deliver a platform that will enable 
educators, students and families around the world to create their own content, 
and learn to read, write, and create their own education programs and share all 
of these experiences via a mesh network model.  The device will also feature an 
application to directly access more than 2 million free books available across 
the Internet.

"While devices like eReaders and current tablets are terrific literary, media 
and entertainment platforms, they don't meet the needs of an educational model 
based on making things, versus just consuming them.  Today's learning 
environments require robust platforms for computation, content creation and 
experimentation – and all that at a very low cost," said Dr. Nicholas 
Negroponte, Founder and Chairman of One Laptop per Child.  "Through our 
partnership with Marvell, OLPC will continue our focus on designing computers 
that enable children in the developing world to learn through collaboration, as 
well as providing connectivity to the world's body of knowledge."

"Marvell has made a long-term commitment to improving education and inspiring a 
revolution in the application of technology in the classroom.  The Moby tablet 
platform – and our partnership with OLPC – represents our joint passion and 
commitment to give students the power to learn, create, connect and collaborate 
in entirely new ways," said Weili Dai, Marvell's Co-founder and Vice President 
and General Manager of the Consumer and Computing Business Unit.  "Marvell's
