"Give One Get One" is the only time we are making the revolutionary XO laptop available to the public. For a donation of just $399 ($200 of which is tax-deductable), you will be giving the gift of education. Additionally, T-Mobile is offering donors one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot locations throughout the United States, which can be used from any Wi-Fi-capable device, including the XO laptop."
Free T-Mobile Hotspot access for a year! This deal is getting better and better. - lemur, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2Thank you XStatic, bassplayer71. Let's digg this thing. B-)

The most fun things, "capable of mesh operation when CPU is powered down", "Minimum 2,000 charge/discharge cycles" (Compare that to a typical laptop's 300 cycles), "Shock 125g" (Take one aboard the space shuttle), and I have found from another page that battery will last 24 hours (!!!) in book reading mode (perfect for PDFs!)
