The revamped machine created by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project
looks like an e-book and has had its price slashed to $75 per device. OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte gave a
glimpse of the "book like" device at an unveiling event at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The first XO2 machines should be ready to deliver to children in 2010.<br></p></blockquote>
