Sridhar's report is worth a read - though I'm looking forward to hearing more about how the 1.5's are being used in class.  (Sridhar: I'd love to have a guest post from you with more about how the laptops are being used, and how the initial handout went) Over the weekend, there was a nice short writeup of the progress in the deployment there by the Daily Telegraph.  They took some gorgeous photographs while they were visiting the schools.  And here's a lovely video from the same part of the country. And I just saw the updated map of all of the major and minor deployments in Australia -- aside from the icon selection, this map is fantastic.
