Currently this video file has the audio out of synch it seems, and most of the video track seems to be showing only the slideshow instead of showing Nicholas Negroponte on stage. Perhaps CEA will release a better video file of this keynote soon.

Many years and an infinite amount of sweat equity went into the creation of the XO laptop. Designed collaboratively by experts from academia and industry, the XO is the product of the very best thinking about technology and learning. It was designed with the real world in mind, considering everything from extreme environmental conditions such as high heat and humidity, to technological issues such as local-language support. As a result, the XO laptop is extremely durable, brilliantly functional, energy-efficient, responsive, and fun.

This is a talk about OLPC at the Open Source Summit of the Mass Technology Leadership Council by Ivan Krstic and
Eben Eliason which includes details and demos of the software. Recorded by Dan Bricklin on June 19, 2007.

This video is more about the UI, some of the apps, and how this all relates to Open
Source. It includes demos of a running XO, too. For a general programmer
population (and maybe even a general techie population) this is a very good
and powerful introduction.
