Just started to play with the XO today. Want to get familiar with it before I turn it over to my 6 year old granddaughter.

Can anyone give me direction on how to make the XO talk (Chat) with my Mac laptop. I know it uses jabber and I have a gmail account for each user. XO sees the Mac laptop in the neighborhood but I can't get one to recognize the other in the chat program.

I heard one of them live over the air on WKAR.

Did everyone see that the old XO's have a new update? It is total upgrade and adds a control panel, as well as a bunch of new applications. Check it out:

Hello,
I have an XO. Went to use it last week and it will not power on at all. Did the hard reset and still no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

itwbennett writes "During an interview Tuesday at the MIT Media Lab,
[0]OLPC project founder Nicholas Negroponte said that the group will have
a working prototype of the XO‑3 tablet by December of this year. 'At CES
[2011] we will show a tablet that can be and will be used for children
probably in the developed world,' Negroponte said. 'You'll see from us,
God willing, an ARM tablet,' he said. 'The screen area will probably be a
9‑inch diagonal, maybe more.' The most important feature will be a
dual‑mode display that will allow it to be used indoors and outdoors.
Price: $75."
