<div dir="ltr">Just as another data point, Vivitar manufactured the $150 xo-tablet, and also is offering a $100 Camelio tablet which has a similar footprint. It has an external micro SD card, like the xo-tablet, but not the hdmi video out.<div>
<br></div><div>I purchased one, and contacted the manufacterer, to see if they would document unlocking the $100 Camelio. They refused.</div><div><br></div><div>George</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div><div dir="ltr">Hi...<div><br></div><div>Will some of you be at the SF Summit? I can bring my XO Tablet if you would like to test Sugar on it. All I ask is that you sweep it clean when finished so I can re-customize it for my grand daughter. It's to be her present for her third birthday in late December.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Caryl</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. If others can bring other Android devices they don't mind messing with that would be great. In fact, maybe you could play with my Samsung phone... same conditions... wipe it clean or restore it when we have finished playing.<br>

This basically means you will not be able to do this customization onto the XO Tablet. Yet another reason why that device fails in the OLPC Mission statement in so many ways.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Except for Nexus devices, any other devices rooted or unlocked to perform this testing on usually voids the devices manufacturer warranty. I don't want to discourage the tinkering, just make sure you know the ramifications of your choice.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">A device like Pengpod would be far more suitable for testing like this, <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pengpod-1040-quad-core-linux-android-dual-booting-tablets" target="_blank">http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pengpod-1040-quad-core-linux-android-dual-booting-tablets</a> Unfortunately it does not look like the company will receive the funding they are in search of to produce their product. I like their idea but the execution so far does not inspire me enough to donate to their campaign.</div>
