Original intent

The original intent of the OLPC program was to help children in third world countries become computer literate. In theory, this will allow them to advance their economies.

It appears, however, that this latest iteration of the machine will actually advance the lap top state of the art. I know, looking at it and assuming it works as advertised, I would like one. The two touch screens would eliminate the need for a mouse and keyboard (also assuming that the screen can display a keyboard that works well as a keyboard).

Of course, it's easy to mock up a product and make it look good. The hard part is actually building the product so that it works.
