[OLPC New Zealand] Auckland Testing Summary 6 July 2013

[Barry Vercoe]

Tom (and I've added Rangan to this thread because Manaia is our first 
XO-Duo deployment).

Thanks for your comprehensive testing yesterday.  I trust we can resolve 
at least some to these before Tabitha and I reflash the 25 new Duos in 
Manaia on Tuesday.

NB:  I've noticed another issue on the _Touch interface_ -- when 
starting any activity via Touch, there's _no choice_ of whether _Resume 
_or _Start New_.  We always get _Resume_.  The Start New option comes 
only via the keypad or external mouse pointer.  Is this the intended 
behaviour?
