According to the Guardian, the OLPC folks are creating the next version of the OLPC computer. "The first generation is a laptop that can be a book; the next generation will a book that can be a laptop," he [negroponte] says. "That's the switch." The price point is aimed at $75.

Sounds bit like the Intel Classroom computer. But, at $75, it might be a huge driver of broadband adoption here in the US.

Let's stay tuned.
