I know the XO children’s Laptop is less popular than other netbooks such as Eee PC, Aspire One, HP Mini, etc. But I also know that this OLPC’s laptop is actually the pioneer and others are the followers. After successfully distributing 1.4 million of XO 1.0. laptop to children around the world, OLPC plans to deliver its new version – XO 1.5, XO 1.75, and XO 3.0 until 2012.
“The first version of OLPC’s child-centric laptop, the XO, is a revolution in low-cost, low-power computing. The XO has been distributed to more than 1.4 million children in 35 countries and in 25 languages,” said Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of One Laptop per Child. “To fulfill our mission of reaching 500 million children in all remote corners of the planet, OLPC will continue to innovate in design and performance. Because we are a non-profit, we hope that industry will copy us.”
