this is enough read again with cnet i'm back with Barbara Habib and Osman the other co-founder of no and we wanted to get a little bit closer look at the interface that we have a different prototype unit where we can see what the interface and experience looks like beyond just opening a single textbook so barbour why don't you show me what you have so here we have the desktop this is when the device opens this is what the student sees this is what we call the semester view this is fall 2010 the student is taking student is taking four or five classes you have your textbook your notebook links to your websites that you may may consider important for that particular class so this is what we call the the semester view then we also have what we call my library and students are able to figure out exactly how they want to sort out their content on this device you can look at all the content you can look at you can look at books notebooks darks media on the left hand side what you have is what we call the chalkboard and instead of just dealing with their academic world this is where they figure out okay what are they going to do in the next two hours how they're going to prepare for the play player here so that they have to go to what are they doing in the evening and on top is the app store tab we're firm believers that all the content is not gonna come from a single source it's going to come from multiple sources including publishers educators professors and we feel even students are going to the contributor contributing as developers on our platform plus the web obviously one of the big features is full linux full web browser so it's it's a browser-based operating system on top of embedded Linux we're building on nvidia's tegra t20 which is a high-performance low-power platform we do support flash because a lot of the educational content is in flash and it's a browser based OS a full internet capability great well thanks for giving us a good look at it thank you
