"The wraps have been taken off the new version of the XO laptop designed for schoolchildren in developing countries.

The revamped machine created by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project looks like an e-book and has had its price slashed to $75 per device."

"The first XO2 machines should be ready to deliver to children in 2010."

"The new version loses the green rubbery keyboard, sporting instead a single square display hinged at its centre.

This allows the device to be split into two touch screens that can either mimic a laptop with keyboard or the pages of a book. "

the idea of using this opportunity to teach IT to kids around the world is absolutely infuriating.
