One Laptop Per Child Project Switches to Tablets

The OLPC project has hit a few snags upon the way with their $100 laptops, and has decided to move on. The project will now shift focus to Marvell’s Moby tablet computer.

The Moby tablet is powered by a 1GHz Maxwell Armada 610 application processor that can encode and decode video at resolutions of up to 1080p and speeds of 30 fps (frames per second) using the H.264 codec.

The XO tablet will also have a multi-lingual soft keyboard with touch feedback. It will have an application that will let users access more than 2 million free books from the Internet.
