I'm posting this with my new bright green XO from the OLPC project.  The keyboard is the "chiclet" type, but it seems OK to me.  The hardest is the space key, which seems to be sensitive in some places and not others.

The touchpad is good, and the screen is great -- very easy to read.

More when I've had a chance to play.

OOh!!!

I'd love to hear more!

What browser does it use!? Firefox based, right?

The browser is a stripped down version of Firefox:  no menus, no options, no tabs and no right-click menu.

The screen is a wonder.  I knew they'd done something so that it works in bright sunlight, but I was amazed when I actually saw it.  The screen *transmits* in color, but *reflects* in grey-scale.  When you're inside (or at night,I suppose), it looks like a more or less ordinary color screen, perhaps a little less intense than some.  When you're outside in the sun, the colors wash out but the screen reflects a perfectly clear grey-scale image.  You can even shade part of the screen with your hand and see part in color and part grey-scale.

It's also a great machine for wardriving.  Last weekend I happened to have the system with me when we drove along the Charles River past Boston University, and it displayed more than 100 wifi nodes on its wifi "map" almost all the time.  It's not a true map, but it does display the nodes with their signal intensity and a lock icon if they are locked.

The system immediately recognized a standard USB mouse.

It has a webcam built in, but no support for Skype video.  It being Unix, some people have hacked it to work -- I'll wait until it gets into the standard product.

My sweetie (who has delicate sweetie hands) reports that she is completely comfortable with the size of the keys on the keyboard.

LOL! Glad she likes it.

I keep hearing people cursing when they're typing on it

On the other hand, most people have mainly good things to say about it, like you do

GraemeW: Your laptop sounds like something I'd like!
