Yes, it looks fascinating.

Supposedly available in October. Has a mini-USB connector. Price not 
announced yet, except advertised in UK at 59 pounds.

Unfortunately described by someone who saw it (in UK) as "flimsy and 
plasticky". I wonder how it would fare in the OLPC environment?

I'll certainly purchase one anyway.
