The XO is the small laptop for kids in developing countries that was developed by the team in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It's headed by N. Negroponte and was called 'the hundred dollar laptop' or One Laptop Per Child. The price has risen to about $170 (in large quantities). I recommend OLPC News, a site that has both critical and supportive posts each day about different aspects of this project and the technology. It's run by Wayan Vota, head of Geekcorps. Today there is a good article about how the project will succeed, by Pedro Hernández-Ramos, a colleague here at the Center for Science, Technology, and Society.
