The One Laptop Per Child (http://www.engadget.com/tag/olpc/) team hasn't always been punctual -- see the XO 3.0 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/olpcs-xo-3-0-tablet-hands-on/), née XO-3 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/03/olpc-xo-3-debut-delayed-till-february-as-the-quest-continues-for/) -- but it should be right on time with the XO-4 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/olpc-xo-4-pricing/). In step with March production plans, the ARM-based portable has passed through the FCC's approval in both conventional and touchscreen flavors. All models share 5GHz-capable 802.11n WiFi as well as Bluetooth; there's no cellular surprise lurking underneath, if you're curious. More than anything, the filing is good news for students in the developing world, who are that much closer to touchscreen laptops at a time when the technology is still fresh for just about everyone (http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows8,review/).
