While other rush for the craze of the Eee PCs, theysaY looks further and envisions other gadgets in the near future. OLOC XO-2 was short-listed as one of the futuristic sexy and affordable gadgets. A first look at OLOC XO-2 reveals that it is a compact gadget that packs a punch. Now for its highlights according to Larry Dignan:
OLPC is betting that new developments in hardware, software, display and processor technologies will lower the XO-2’s price tag to $75.
OLPC is going with the 1 watt power consumption target so XO-2 can be powered by a hand crank.
The XO-2 will feature dual-touch displaces for the e-book.

The whole idea is very refreshing. Taking a lesson from the previous XO model, XO-2 will be given a new outlook. Featuring two 16:9 touch-screens, one of which can be used as a touch-sensitive keyboard and the other as a display screen. Also, OLPC is set to market the new model XO-2 to developing nations as an e-book reader.
Overall, OLPC XO-2 looks great compared to its pre-descendent which is bulky and heavy. However, the pretty promises to deliver by 2010 seem too soon and good to be true.
