One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a project supported by One Laptop per Child Association (OLPCA) and OLPC Foundation (OLPCF), has introduced a couple of tablets for children at CES 2014.

However, the OS version and the processor installed in the device is not mentioned. XO-2 features a 7-inch, 1200x600 pixel LCD touchscreen display and 1GB of RAM to perform multiple tasks together. The device comes with an 8GB internal flash storage along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The tablet is also said to include a GPS feature and offer a battery life of seven hours in one single charge.

The XO-10 tablet is understood to set back a customer by $199 (roughly Rs. 12,300) but the date as to when this tablet will hit the shelves, is not mentioned. The tablet runs on what is being reported by Engadget as a heavily modified version of Android 4.4 Kitkat OS, paired with a quad-core processor and 1GB RAM. OLPC XO-10 sports a 10.1-inch 1200 x 600 LCD capacitive touch display along with the in-built storage size same as that in XO-2 tablet.
