Here comes the prototype 2.0 version of the OLPC (One Per Child) notebook, with no keyboard will have a clamshell form-factor with two 16:9 touch-screen displays.

The XO-2 will employ the dual indoor-and-sunlight displays, which was pioneered by former OLPC CTO Mary Lou Jepsen. The design will provide a right and left page in vertical format, a hinged laptop in horizontal format, and a flat, two-screen continuous surface for use in tablet mode. “Younger children will be able to use simple keyboards to get going, and older children will be able to switch between keyboards customized for applications as well as for multiple languages,” the press release reads. The XO-2 will also reduce power consumption to 1 watt.
According to Negroponte, the XO-2 is scheduled to be released in 2010.
