OLPC XO-3 (Slimmest tablet)
OLPC XO-3
Take a look at the designs for what could someday be the world’s cheapest PC. This revamped machine, known as the XO-3 is target for release in 2012 and the price for each XO-3 is aim at $75. This is what people have been fantasizing about in a tablet—durable, thin, multitouch, multiple screen modes for computing and reading but for just 75 dollars. The XO-3 is an 8.5 x 11 touchscreen, coupled with a little folding ring in the corner for grip and a camera in the back. To keep things minimal the plan is to use Palm Pre-style induction charging, and less than a watt of power to keep an “8 gigaherz [sic]” (800MHz?) processor and a Pixel Qi screen powered.
