[Olpc-open] XO review

[John Kintree]

There is a new review of the XO laptop at:
http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4093

The review is mostly positive.  The most disappointing thing for me was, "Flash is also a very processor-intensive application, especially Youtube videos.  The video took much longer to load than it took to download, and the back of the laptop was getting quite hot.  The video showed very noticable frame skip and audio stuttering was also obvious throughout the entire clip."

Perhaps optimizations in the XO Flash player can improve things.  While I sincerely hope to have a decent experience of viewing YouTube videos with my XO, Flash is not the only format for digital video.  Are there other video formats, perhaps Theora, that play well on the XO?
Regards,
John Kintree
