The specification is obviously limited: the One has only 1GB of flash memory, although a Wi-Fi adapter is included. A 2GB version with Bluetooth will also be available for £120.

The One has a detachable rubberised keyboard, allowing owners to usE
the device as a tablet. However, Elonex has ditched plans to make the 7in TFT a touchscreen, which rather handicaps the tablet functionality.

Like the Eee PC, the One will use a Linux distribution, bundled with a word processor, spreadsheet, internet browser, photo editor and an email client. However, Elonex is remaining tight-lipped on further details until its official launch. What do u think?:cool:
 
I think it'll be good if the price is right, but like all things we'll get a bum deal in the UK compared to the US.

I also thing that if you're just going to plagiarise a source and stick "What do u think? :cool:" on the end then you might as well just post a link to the article in the first place :p.

Sorry heres the rest. The One has a detachable rubberised keyboard, allowing owners to use

"The One removes the cost barrier that has prevented the one-laptop-per-person, large-scale uptake of computers in the education system that has for so long been just a pipe-dream," says Sam Goult, marketing manager at Elonex. "Investment in digital technology is paramount to help the next generation achieve their full potential."

Goult denies rumours circulating online that the One is simply a re-badged offering from Chinese manufacturer Fontastic.

Elonex will be releasing the One notebook at the 2008 Education Show to be held in Birmingham on 28 February. FROM PC PRO:cool:
 
Sadly it looks like complete toss, especially when you look at the specs.
Anyway, here it is:
elonex-one-top.jpg



CPU: Aday5F-300 MHz X86
Memory: 128/256 MB DDR2 SDRAM
4 MB Flash ROM
Storage: 1 GB/2GB NAND FLASH
Display: 800x480 7!? TFT LCD
Network interface: Ethernet 10/100 Mbps
Wi-Fi 802.11b/g (optional)
Bluetooth (optional)
Webcam: 2.0M pixels (optional)
USB sockets: USB 2.0/1.1 port X 2
Audio jack: 3.5mm in/out
Battery: 3 cells, 2200mAH/cell
Weight: 950g(with keyboard)
Dimension(WxLxH): 230 mm x 146 mm x 33 mm(with keyboard)


Oh and even though it's a tablet, it doesn't have a touchscreen. There's a mouse on the back...
 
Also, how will it balance when used like a laptop?

It appears that most of the weight is behind the screen, so it looks very unstable.

Certainly not going to beat the eee in a beauty contest.
 
Euuughhh.... but at least it's cheap. Think I would rather pay the extra for a 2GB EEE though. Good to see more people making products in this sector though.
 
Yeah, there's a shedload coming out in the next 6 months or so, although honestly none of them seem to hold a candle to the eee pc at the moment.
 
Why do they always have such huge besels? There really is no need for such a lot of plastic around the screen, unless of course it is to hide the fact the screen is tiny...

Small screens are cheap and use less power, and if the device was the size of the screen the keyboard would be too small and the hardware wouldn't fit inside. I personally would rather they just put bigger higher res screens on these things (including on the EEE) and charged a little more.

Exactly my point, I suppose you get what you pay for, if you want a full screen version you would go for the more expensive Sony and alternatives like that.
