Speaking of OLPC, I saw recently where they were demoing the next generation of this device which would feature multitouch—in the video the kid was using it like a chess board with another kid! Very cool stuff… I think having Windows XP on it will finally help make the OLPC more attractive to developing countries and more connecting to those developed ones.

OLPC Xo is only for really poor regions,i dont think computers which are having very low specs appeal to a slightly higher strata of sociey.And $200 is getting too much,they talk of prices coming down after it becomes widespread,well with that price it might never become widespread.
