Lightbulb Olpc Xo 2.0!!

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) team are back, even though their first version of the OLPC didn't go to well and they are working on a new project called XO which will run XP, they have already designed their first prototype of XO 2.0!

According to Nick Neg the laptop will feature a DVD player, wifi, two touch screens (and much more) which by the time this laptop will be released (2010) each of those screens should cost about $20 and the whole system $75 each!

If these guys aren't inspiring to you, I don't know who are. Well done OLPC!




I want one now! They look awesome!

Yeah, I've been a fan of this effort for quite awhile. Hopefully, the projected cost of this isn't too far off the mark. This would make possibilities for children endless. I wonder if they are planning on working with someone to develop the OS. The success of this could be the way to usher in different operating systems for down the road! Depending on the usefulness of these systems and integration with other products, there just seems to be unlimited potential here.

It's kind of funny because, at first people were complaining about how the One Laptop Per Child program was a joke when they raised the price above $100. I just read an article online which was quoted on Engadget at TG Daily - $100 laptop to become a $50 laptop by 2009 , but it may be inaccurate. It states that somewhere in 2009, the price is going down to around $50, according to Mary LouJespen (the CTO of the OLPC program).

I also noticed that it will have WiMax also. This is definitely a good laptop for the price it's going for! It's also being used for a great purpose. I hope that these laptops truely help everyone around the world!

I wonder how well it will sell with the Windows XP version of it, it looks reasonably good!
