Kevin Delaney has a good article and video over at the WSJ about the One Laptop per Child initiative’s XO-1, which I reviewed in depth last December. It was an interesting concept, but as Delaney points out, the execution has a ways to go. . . even for a kid who isn’t all up on the latest Web 2.0 synergistic orgy of AJAX and social networking.

Post Scriptum: How impossible was the XO-1 to use as a subcompact notebook computer? I just sold my XO-1 and bought an iPhone, and find I can type faster on the 2″ wide virtual keyboard.
