One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)
One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is the project to bring very low cost laptops for children (likely elementary-age) in developing nations. According to Engadget (which has lots more info on the OLPC), this may eventually morph into low-cost laptops for children in developed nations.
Looking at the current hardware specs, this machine is a convertible tablet with touch screen (passive digitizer). The open-source Linux-based OS is apparently now available for download in live-CD form.

To really get the down-low on the OLPC, I would humbly suggest OLPC News: http://www.olpcnews.com your independent source for news and information about One Laptop Per Child.
