Our OLPC arrived!
Took a couple pictures, but not uploaded yet.
Only had a little time, here are initial notes
has [AC] adaptor, no foot pedal or other human-energy source
but comes fully charged which is good for immediate feel-good
wow that is a tinier Key Board than I remember from demo: tiny enough that it might not be usable by an adult (at least one who knows how to [Touch Type]).
only a couple pages of documentation
how to get on your WiFi
haven't figured out how to have multiple open Web Browser windows. That could be a deal-breaker for anyone. Basic support page says nothing useful.
ouch - This browser can only view one web page at a time. You can't keep a copy of one page, go off and look at a second page, and come back to the first one, without a lot of manual work.
argh, have to re-remember passwords for web services like GMail.
doesn't automatically hibernate when closed - battery was dead this morning.
no printing yet
Next actions
register it, activate TMobile WiFi deal: done Feb02
actually, the register function is to register with a "school server", so not applicable
figure out stuff above
check status of SimCity; see what EToys are pre-installed, to pitch to kids. Done
Jan06: got email saying it's on the way! Obviously their logistics folks have some work to do....
