The extensive authority of the One Laptop per Child proposal continues to spread out its sphere. Not long ago it was indistinct whether the PC formerly conceived as a $100 notebook for kids in developing countries would ever turn out to be a reality after an elongated series of delays. Now the XO notebook looks on the threshold of fetching a hot item, and all the investigate that went into it is leading down opposing paths. Walter Bender, who just dropped the OLPC proposal to start up its open-source software spinoff, is supposedly in "informal discussions" to obtain its Linux operating system on low-cost notebooks made by 4 producers. The nonprofit spinoff, Sugar Laboratories, is holding discussions with Pixel Qi and is exciting in pursuing an association with Intel, Bender told the news agency. No other producers were listed, though he quoted Asus on Sugar Labs Web site the previous week. Its only the most modern transformation in a long-running chronicle that has witnessed internal strife, resignations, and other disagreement since the projects beginning. Last month OLPC originator Nicholas Negroponte whispered the XO might toggle from Linux to Windows XP, but that transform remains to be witnessed. Stay tuned.

Eee PC 100HE WITH 9 5 HOUR BATTERY UP FOR PRE ORDER
Its not like companies to release major updates to existing products via their social networking space, but that is exactly what Asus has done witrh the new 1000HE ("e" standing for extended).The 10-inch netbook comes with a a LED backlit screen and a new chicklet keyboard as well as 802.11N WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0. HDD is 160GB and if that is not enough for your extensive video collection, Asus gives you another 10GB of online storage.
The same old 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor is running the show but you also get that extended battery that Asus claims is good for 30 minutes less than 10 hours. If you happen to be their friends on Facebook than you can pick one up with a 425 discount off the regular price of $399.
Or if youre like us, you can wait till those Windows 7 models role around sometime in the near future.
