ONE Beta Units Shipping Soon
Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: May 13, 2008
You may or may not already know this, but I’m in the somewhat privileged position of being a beta tester for Elonex’s ONE, pictured above. For those not already familiar, it’s Britain’s education-oriented answer to the Asus Eee and OLPC XO-1, and will hopefully soon be available for £99 ($200).
Anyway, I’m off on holiday in the middle of June and I kinda wanted to take the ONE with me, so I sent off an email to Elonex’s sales people today. I received a very prompt and helpful reply from their sales director, Stuart Smith, regarding the beta units’ availability:
“…late May early June. However, in my opinion, it is more likely to be June.”
Hopefully that means I’ll have my beta test unit in time for June 10th so I can give the thing a bloody good field test in a very hot (I hope) field in France. As I’ll be getting the bluetooth-enabled model, that should hopefully mean gratuitous wireless blogging too.
Holidays, eh?
This one is cool, keep us posted!
Stumbled!

people keep asking why the thing doesn’t tip… its cause there’s a stand behind the screen! if you’ve watched the videos you’d see…
Have you received the unit?
I’m start thinking this one is another scam like Medion….
