Hi,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I think the opportunity is to have more language teaching<br>
software built in. From what I saw kids could easily learn<br>

videos, music, and speech and simple fun tests - kids could<br>
learn to use it pretty quickly. </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>

If done right, the XO could become the English teacher in<br>
non-english public schools.</blockquote><div><br>Absolutely :) Not only English but many many more languages :).<br><br>We are working on integrating speech synthesis in the XO :) [<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Screen_Reader">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Screen_Reader</a>, <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Speech_synthesis">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Speech_synthesis</a>].
