Despite Rocky Start, One Laptop Per Child Team Pushes Forward with New X02

While the One Laptop Per Child project has been a mix of both pros and cons, seeing things like Yves Behar seemingly winning every design award imaginable while simultaneously reading about the devices’ flaws and sales troubles, it looks like Nicholas Negroponte and his gang at MIT are going to keep at it, as they’ve just unveiled the plans for the next round of cheap computing for the third world, the X02. Looking more like a book, but with big bright screens, we have to say that the prototype looks like just about the coolest thing ever.
