OLPC has begun work on a low cost, low power, robust tablet for use by kids.

The actual dimensions are still in flux, but the display surface will be roughly 10" diagonal, with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The tablet electronics will be based around the Armada 610 ARM system-on-a-chip from Marvell, which is also used in the XO-1.75 laptop.

We are hoping to have working prototypes available for software development and hardware testing and refinement by the beginning of 2012.

At this time, it is hoped that production might begin in the latter half of 2012.
