From Technology Review:

Hundred-dollar laptop, revisited: The next-generation version of the One Laptop per Child machine will dispense with keypads. It can be folded flat to make one larger screen (left); here, two children could play a game, each using the touch-screen capability. Or it can be held on its side and used as an electronic book (right).

To be honest I doubt that technology can solve tricky situation in the developing countries. There must be a general mindshift in terms of education and availability of information. If this structure is set up concepts like "One Laptop per Child" can pay into this.
