Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the One Laptop Per Child initiative, says that the next prototype laptop to come out of the factory will be the XO-3 model discussed here.  Back in December we were told that the XO-3 would be ready for 2012 with a $75 price tag.  Apparently the folks at OLPC are ramping up production techniques.  According to Negroponte, the dream tablet for developing countries will be put together in prototype form by December 2010 and will be formally revealed at the next Consumer Electronics Show in January 2011.  Though the prototype model will feature a glass screen, the objective is for it to eventually be “100 percent plastic, unbreakable, and almost extruded out of a machine.”  Listen to Negroponte divulge more details about the XO-3 in the brief but informative video above.
