It’s only garish as long as not everybody else has those cute thingies as well :)

Truly spectacular. I've shown it to friends from here (NH, USA) to Amsterdam, and all of them are impressed to. (I could stand something a little less garish to carry around though. :) ) I can't wait for a sunlight-readable cell phone screen. Laptops as well, but the cell phone is the killer. And I'm buying the first mass-market-paperback-sized ebook reader that has your screen and no DRM. To contribute to your question, then: please do whatever gets your technology into the mainstream faster! I have an XO that I use primarily as an ebook reader outside. Truly spectacular.

I tend to think that the high prices will not be coming down anytime soon. I've seen specials with some pretty competitive pricing, like the ASUS Eee Surf for $299.00. They seem to of prodded the bottom of the price market and are now settling in on a price and configuration that they are comfortable with. Granted OLPC can still influence this, if their new XO, (to be displayed on the 20th of May 2008) has some compelling new features. Any insights you would like to share about the new XO ???
