OLPC founder Nicholas Negrponte announced the next generation of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) at the MIT Media Lab on May 20, 2008. The next generation of the OLPC will be an E-book format, using two touch-screens, similar to the laptop design I posted about in March. Negrponte suggested the v2 will come in at approximately $75 per machine, by hitching to the rapidly cheapening DVD screens.
More pictures and a report is available from XConomy.
Take note of the lanyard image as well, offering up some different portability.
2010 is the predicted release.
