To be honest I believe the OLPC XO is already an almost perfect OEPC as well. And I predict that as the costs come down eventually we will see more child-oriented laptops that can double as ebook readers. The advantage of this over a dedicated device is that kids could also use it for their homework... a fact I think is more likely to attract parents, and make them seem like less of a luxury item with low income families (or even developing nations).
