Analysis of the product

  1. Can it withstand kids handling them?
  2. 7" Tabbled 108€=99€+9€ neoprene covering sleeve is nearly as good as an iPad.
  3. 108€ tabbled vs 164€ OLPC 7.5” display XO. Remember: an XO is And a laptop And a portable casing And PV chargeable ready And it is open soft and hardware And they put themselves automatically in a network. The tabbled does NOT have a casing. That has to be purchased separately.
  4. tabblets also sell in the USA cf. http://tabbled.com/nl/node/45 Europa: +32 02 888 65 89
