Today starts the two-week One Laptop Per Child's Give 1, Get 1 program. The XO laptop is being made available to U.S. and Canadian consumers, but only if they buy one to donate to a developing nation. At a cost of $399 for both computers, you can get the 3.2-pound green-and-white laptop that's resistant to spills, rain, dust, and drops, and includes its own operating system (called "Sugar"), a built-in video camera, an Internet mesh-networking platform, gamepad controllers, and a screen that rotates into a tablet configuration. You can place an order via phone, (1-877-70-LAPTOP), or through www.xogiving.com, and receive one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot locations throughout the United States; these hotspots can be accessed from any Wi-Fi-capable device, including the XO.
