Agreed. It's gotta make it to the minimum screen resolution for standard programs. I'm sure it only saved them $2 to choose the 576 pixel display over one with 600 vertical pixels.

Also, they really should have paid attention to battery life on these things. The flush 3-cell battery only gives about 2 hours according to other reviews. And the 6-cell is absurd in the way it picks the rear up about 2 inches.

Verdict: Design failure.

Thanks for the “Windows XP…Gecko…” link. I hadn't seen that one. (Brad posted the first one awhile back.) I think this looks like a fun gizmo. The Xcore86 motherboard itself may not be hackable, but it's modular and replaceable, and everything else is probably pretty much hackable.

if they'd stop hobbling these things with shortscreen displays, they'd be a lot more useful. education is full of oddball programs that only run at 800×600.

also of interest for schools and the rest is:

Gecko Netbook runs on AA batteries (YouTube Videos to watch)
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10238203-1....

Quote:
------------
"Sipping only 1.2 watts, this allows the Netbook to run off eight NiMH
AA-size batteries for up to four hours, though there is a lithium ion
option with a six-hour uptime. Using store-bought AA cells allows the
Netbook to be used in rural areas where electricity might get spotty.

Word is NorhTec's Gecko EduBook will be launched at computer expo
Computex Taipei in June and will retail for less than $200".

The rubberized case (without a raised “Samsung” logo) would be very easy
to hot stamp the school logo (or anything else, like H.D. wings) onto.

The one question in my mind: Where was this Green NetBook last St. Patrick's day?
