Actually I think the hands are all doing a very good job.  It's the head
that needs attention.

One thing does interest me however. the comment "it plans to open the
architecture of the device to allow any other PC maker to take over the
project." 

Is this in the realms of possibility for the XO-1/1.5?  Specifically,
would OLPC allow a 3rd party to manufacture a system with their own
motherboard using the XO-1 case, battery and screen.  Perhaps with a
colour change to make it distinctive as another product.
