I just spoke with Leah, and she was great to chat with! - OLPC offered XO-1.75 and XO-4 upgrade kits in the past, to upgrade XO-1s, but they didn't sell that well; she agreed with Tony's assessment that users will run the XO-1 until it fails, and OLPC has no EOL date in mind - OLPC is still offering XO-4s (touch and non-touch) with a minimum order of 100 units through the end of this year for sure, and has a few units in stock in Miami if anyone wants to buy just one or two; and Leah said they could look into updating the laptop.org website to make the offer public - OLPC is now also offering a newer model, a classmate-spec machine, and will send me details about this; its rugged and branded but not got the pixel qi screen. - OLPC only ships Sugar, and is very happy with it, and wants to support the developer community although isn't sure how to so; - OLPC is willing to put me in touch with deployments if I wanted to visit them to do user testing of the font editor activity and font design workshops for kids
