Delay in the Release of OLPC Tablet
The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization has encountered a delay in the production of its upcoming tablet, initially planned to be unveiled at CES starting on January 6, 2023. The delay is primarily due to challenges in sourcing or integrating the touch screen surface for the device.
According to the available information, OLPC is not only considering traditional touch screen surfaces but is also exploring alternative options. Among the potential materials mentioned are plastic and glass. One possible alternative technology being considered is Pixel Qi, although this has not been confirmed.
The search for a suitable touch screen surface has caused a 45-day extension to the production schedule, pushing back the release date of the tablet to February 2023. It is important to note that the OLPC tablet to be released will not be a rollable device, as reported by some sources.
The One Laptop Per Child initiative, which ended its hardware design efforts around 2014, is now focusing on other aspects, making updates on new tablet developments and specific production challenges limited or not reported in recent sources. For detailed, current information on OLPC tablet production delays or technologies, it may be necessary to consult OLPC’s official communications or recent technology news sources directly.
