"Intel offered a sneak peek of the next-generation of its Classmate PC design at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco today. The new design features a tablet, touchscreen, and motion-sensing user interface, and is powered by - you guessed it - an Atom processor."

For accuracy

For accuracy's sake - Mandriva was one of the OSes certified for the original ClassmatePC, but not the only one. Windows XP was also certified. Both have been used in production installations of ClassmatePCs. I don't think there were any other certified OSes, but IMBW on that one.

Adam, the ClassmatePC website says that Mesh Network is available for Linux only. Do you know if this is the same as the Mesh network in OLPC? Is it a ClassmatePC exclusive feature or can we see it on the next Mandriva PowerPack edition?

If that's talking about the new Classmate, I don't know if that actually has anything to do with MDV at all, I'm not sure what the status with the new Classmate is.

AFAIK the original Mandriva-on-Classmate didn't have any custom mesh networking stuff. At least, it didn't when I saw it. I may be entirely clueless on this, it's not a project I was heavily involved in
