The ISTE journal "Learning & Leading" current issue Vol 37.1 has a netbook article on page 14. You can download and read the free online PDF version from this link. http://tr.im/wjuI It is a good 4 page summary of the different options spanning thick, ultraportable and thin computers and gives good mention to the XO-1. I rather like the point made at the end that a cheap solution is not desirable if it is created through draconian measures to limit access to technology resources and services.
