Progress Report: $100 laptop

OLPC in Nigerian school

I had chance to play around with one of these at the recent Osmosoft Show&Tell bash and I came away very impressed. I can see lots of people in the Western world wanting to buy one (or wanting to “Give One, Get One”) because they have a lot of innovative features (power saving, screen visibility, touch pads etc)and they’re much more portable than most current laptops (especially given the price).

 The BBC recently caught up with a school in Nigeria that have been trialling the OLPC XO for the last 5 months. Read their progress report here.
