OLPC - XO is Obsolete (Almost)

The OLPC project has taken a new path. Apparently, the 'laptop' idea will be replaced by an 'e-book' approach that will cost $75 (US) to build; however, it won't be ready until 2010.
The OLPC project made the announcement today -

There's a picture of it on the site.
So, I guess the bottom line is that people with the current XO should really work on developing their own software.
The funny thing is: I really want an e-book, but they just cost too much, especially since I don't travel a lot any more.
