OLPC Size Comparision

Here are some pics that show size comparisions between the OLPC and the 12″ powerbook. I’m trying to figure out how to design great ebooks for the OLPC form factor. Although its screen is quite a bit smaller than the powerbook, it has more pixels!

OLPC powerbook
resolution 1200×900 1024×768
dimensions 6″x4.5″ 9.6″x7.3″
dpi 200 106

    These will be initially sold to governements, and would cost about US $100. Don’t know what the price of the commercial version would be, or when it would be available. There is a bit more info in the FAQ.
