I want to keep this short, but first off, I just have to say woot! My new B3 XO(don't know what this is? Check out http://www.laptop.org) came today, and it is beautiful. I thought I would take a little time and put up some pictures since I haven't seen any around quite yet.

The first thing I noticed immediately that is different is the outside of the case. The previous plain, white 'XO' character is now brightly colored! Check this out:

After I opened it up and got it started, I noticed immediately how much faster it is. Startup time was a fraction of what it took before, and getting into X was much faster. All around *everything* is faster about the laptop.

Being a developer of the Watch & Listen activity, I had to see how our media player did on the new hardware. After loading up Watch & Listen, and getting some content on the machine, all I have to say is one word. Amazing. The new hardware enables us to play videos at a *much* higher bitrate than we could before, and newer codecs that we couldn't even think about using before. Also, the new hardware fixed some X driver issues we were running into before. Look at this:

I am very excited about what opportunities the new hardware brings the Watch & Listen team.

I will try and get more photos up when I find a better camera. I happened to get lucky with these two.
