Comment(by ssb22):

 For more evidence, how about this usability study:
 http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/3W/fontJR.htm - in their
 experiment (with a 96dpi screen and children aged 9 to 11), they compared
 12pt with 14pt and found 14pt to be significantly better.  That's twice
 the current 7pt.

 Note that although the XO's screen is 200dpi, the full resolution is
 present only when in monochrome mode.  It needs to be usable in colour
 mode too, and that means at 100dpi, hence the above study is still valid
 for the XO.
