"The plans for the new design, the XOXO (or XO 2), are to be unveiled
Tuesday. Scheduled for introduction in 2010, it will be a tablet
computer that several kids can use at once, and will combine the
functions of a laptop, electronic book and electronic board.
Negroponte describes it as "a totally new concept for learning
devices" and hopes to sell it for $75 in 2010. OLPC's former chief
technology officer, Mary Lou Jepsen, intends to sell the laptops she's
now developing for her start-up company, Pixel Qi, for $75, too."

"All of the lessons learned from using the XO have been applied to the
development of the XOXO tablet computer, and to an interim model, the
XO 1.5, which is to be introduced in spring next year. Negroponte says
that it will be "faster, brighter, cheaper and even less
power-demanding," and that OLPC is soon to announce new partnerships,
which should speed up its progress."
