<div><br></div><div>I think Giulia misspoke about the intent of the Journal on the XO-4 as affording parental control. In the latest build, it is still possible to erase items.</div><div><br></div><div>I can't see any apparent change to the interface of TamTam Mini on the XO-4 Touch. It looks like Gonzalo is still actively working on the simple piano keyboard widget[2]. Maybe he can jump in to say when it might be added to TamTam Mini.</div>
