The tablet version of the XO computer should be ready by 2012The One Laptop Per Child organisation has been given a $5.6m (£3.5m) grant to develop a tablet version of its educational computer.
The cash comes from chip maker Marvell which became a supporter and sponsor of OLPC in early 2009.
The OLPC organisation said the grant meant it had all the development cash it needed to produce its next machine.
OLPC said it would show off the first development work on the new machine at the CES show in January 2011.
