I handled an XO a couple of times last year (PyCon and at a local Python user group meeting). The keyboard is too small for me to touch type, though it two thumbs typing should work. The Via processor is X86 compatible, so there's hope that J will work from the console. The GUI is another matter. The OLPC team is planning to make NumPy and a plotting package available for the XO, but I'd like to see J working on it as well. Good luck.
