Our team would like to share with the community the immediate
availability
 [1]
of Guzmán Trinidad's "Physics with XO". It is a book that includes
30 experimental activities for the Physics Laboratory that utilize
the XO laptop's capabilities to attach sensors and create
interactive experiences.

This looks awesome! :D

Are there any other similar textbooks for other subjects?

We believe that knowledge production should be as widely
distributed as creativity is, and so we are proud to have been
able to help to disseminate Guzmán's work for use in Rwanda,
Philippines and other places where English is spoken. The original
book was written and published in Uruguay in 2011. This
translation was made possible thanks to the kind sponsorship of
Tony Anderson.

Thank you Tony!!

This is wonderful news! I saw some of Trinidad's great physics experiments when 
we were in Uruguay for EduCamp. This is where Sugar and the XO really shine! 
IMHO Making it easier for teachers to utilize Sugar and the XOs in the 
classroom is the only real way to grow Sugar.
