OLPC: XO-2 concept
The OLPC organization introduced the concept of the next generation of cheap XO-2 laptops. The size of the new XO will be two times smaller than its predecessor, but it will be equipped with two touch-sensitive displays, one of which will replace the keyboard.
The design features of the XO-2 will allow it to be used as a laptop (in this case, letters and symbols will be displayed on one of the touch screens), and, when the device is rotated 90 degrees, like an e-book or mini-TV for watching videos.
Innovation XO-2 touched not only the technical performance of the PC, but also its value. According to the statement by the founder of OLPC, Nicolas Negroponte, with the start of mass production, the price of a laptop will not exceed $ 75. However, given the problematic pricing with respect to the first version of XO (the declared price of $ 100 eventually turned into $ 180-190), it is possible to treat the words of Negroponte with a share of healthy skepticism.
Mass production of XO 2.0 will begin by 2010.
