thank you. 20:27, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

yet more questions

Q. will the XO-2 ...

  • be as physically durable as its forerunner?
  • have the same mesh range without the ears?
  • come with a tablet pen?
  • be scratch-resistant/easy to keep clean, considering all the finger- and (likely) dirt-touching going on?
  • be able to adjust the brightness of each screen separately, to account for the glare of the monitor?

screen specs?

  • Same pixel format as the XO-1 or something else?
  • Good pixel count? 1920x1080 (HDTV) is good for media compatibility, and the 960x540 you get with 2x upscaling is good for the web
  • Resolution? 254 DPI is pretty much ideal. It's 0.1 mm pitch, allowing the screen to be an exact size in mm.
  • Touch resolution?
  • Pressure sensitivity? (so kids are encouraged to crack the screen)

USB

I don't recommend that you put in USB. Extensions like mice and keyboards probably won't be necesary anyway. For external memory, xD or SD would be better. 68.144.170.184 18:51, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
