Development Systems

An application developer can do most of theor work on any system, especially if they are using the OLPC Python Environment. However it is a good idea to do your testing on a system that is similar to the OLPC, i.e. low memory, battery powered, portable.

Some possibilities are:

• Sharp Zaurus is a PDA running Linux. Several model look like mini laptops.
• PepperPad is a Linux-based tablet device. The 3rd model in the range has adopted the AMD GEODE CPU however that is less relevant for Python applications.
• A German company sells the Flepo Mini PC1 which runs exactly the same CPU as the OLPC.
