The XO-2 will be in a green and white case, as is the current XO, seen here in a presentation by OLPC head Nicholas Negroponte in April 2006.

The organization aims to have the the XO-2 ready for delivery in 2010. It also plans to release an XO-1.5 in spring 2009; the design will be the same as that of today's XO, but the laptop will have fewer physical parts and will cost less (the current price stands at $188), the OLPC says.

For a look at the XO in action at a school in Africa, see "Photos: Nigerian students power up their laptops."
