	Not yet... posted by Johan Dams on 18th January 2007 Due to our involvement in four other Efika projects, this one has been put a little on a back burner. The main issue remains finding an appropriate and especially cost-effective way to connect a screen, and finding the right (read power-efficient) graphics card. We will keep a close eye on the Efika Volari projects, and see if the combination of Efika/V3 will suit our needs. Another reason to put this project in the background, is due to the major investments needed to develop this project into a final product. We hope that the success of our other products will allow us to invest more time and money in this one. We know that a future Efika revision with on board graphics card (and hopefully LVDS interface) will make this project a lot easier, and also more cost effective. We are convinced there is a market for this device (see the interest the OLPC generates, not only in "third world" countries). We will continue optimizing the software for this device, and will also investigate if MorphOS is suitable for this application. Johan.
