David Pogue has a video review this week of the XO laptop (a.k.a. the $100 laptop). I haven’t actually paid much attention to this project, so it was interesting to see the little laptop in action. I love the collaborative way the apps work and the transparency of the technology.

OLPC, the $100 laptop
Ethan Zuckerman from World Changing had a chance to talk to Nicholas Negroponte recently about the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. Ethan’s report sheds some light on this attempt to build a laptop computer cheaply and ruggedly enough for students in developing nations.
The 1-to-1 project in my own school district has shown me the value of “one laptop per child.” I’ll watch this project with great interest.
