OLPC XO laptop offers multi-touch support

OLPC recently announced that it aims to improve its next generation XO laptop (so there will be another model in the works after all) by throwing in a touchscreen display that supports multi-touch, something that every decent touchscreen-enabled devices these days seem to come with. Gestures are also supported as the tablet is ready for release, but there is still no word on a release date as at press time. Best to keep all forms of finger food away from the little ones who will be having a field day with a multitouch display, smearing ketchup and grease all over the place as they ‘study’ during their break time.
