There is some information about the OLPC project of Nicholas Negroponte. Apparently the 2nd generation OLPC XO laptop will be only a hardware upgrade of the current model and OLPC focuses on a completely new design for the 3rd generation which is supposed to hit the market in 2012.
Negroponte is quoted in an article on Xconomy that the XO 3.0 is a single sheet, completely plastic and unbreakable, waterproof, 1/4" thick, full color, reflective and transmissive, no bezel, no holes. 1W and a price of $75.
As always these are pretty impressive goals to achieve.
2012 is only 2 years away. If we look at the state eBook readers are in and how expensive they are than I am not sure if the OLPC will achieve the above specs by then. The photo above shows the dual screen concept for the XO-2 that appeared in 2008.
