I believe what she says because I have an OLPC XO-1 and with the backlight off, it's fantastic outside. It's almost good enough to read indoors, but the reflector on the back of the screen reflects at too precise an angle so to see the whole screen well you need ambient light. A lamp just provides a spot or very small angle that works well.

With a little bit of tweaking, I could see it as a great e-paper alternative though. It is very sharp and high contrast.

If something almost identical to the picture (with good build quality) can be made available, and allow that keyboard to turn into a virtual palette for art-related fiddling, I'd get it in a hot second. I won't accept anything less than that.

i don't know how i feel about the virtual keyboard. it's fine on a phone cause i can see the keyboard and what i am typing at the same time, but once you divorce the two i think i might get more irritated than i do with my darn phone.

@Nick: disagree. it's called touchtyping, and most people here have been typing their whole lives and can do it in their sleep.

@The Chad: Most people here have been typing their whole lives.. on a tactile keyboard. You can't type on flat surface without looking. And when I say you, I mean you, Chad. You can't do it Chad. So give it up, you'll never be able to do it. Chad.
