Scrutinizing the XO (OLPC) user experience
Cameron Moll reviews the One Laptop per Child, or OLPC “XO” computer:
It’s as intriguing as an iPhone. And by that I mean, whenever I pull it out, it seems to draw a crowd. Those who’ve heard of it are excited to see it. Those who haven’t assume I’m carrying a Fisher Price toy but quickly show interest once they discover I’m toting a full-featured laptop.
Actually the good news comes first, as Cameron also encountered a few drawbacks with the machine, and the whether the $100 price tag will be enough for users to see their way clear of the cons remains to be seen.
