Last week at OLPC’s Global Country Workshop the look of what will be the follow up to OLPC's highly successful and publicized XO was revealed. The XO-2 will sport dual touch screens and be half the size of the original. The design will provide a right and left page in vertical format, a hinged laptop in horizontal format, and a flat, two-screen continuous surface for use in tablet mode. “Younger children will be able to use simple keyboards to get going, and older children will be able to switch between keyboards customized for applications as well as for multiple languages”.
The best part is that they are claiming that the XO-2 will be released in 2010 for an astonishing $75. Of course OLPC has been known to aim lower than it really can achieve on price so expect to pay a little more.
