Hardware, Embedded Systems DigitaCrusader has a review of a test model of the OLPC. "Overall I'd say it was a pretty interesting experience, being able to use a beta of the XO. It's hard for me to judge how a child in the developing world might fare with one - I am of course an old master at computers, with experience across a wide variety of operating systems and deep knowledge of how the devices work. But it didn't seem very hard get it do things - certainly not as opaque as the windows hierarchical start menu."
