My eleven year old daughter uses her XO laptop very rarely here in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. This is largely due to the inability to view youtube videos and lack of support for other Internet-based applications that require Flash.
The XO hardware is capable of displaying youtube videos. Evidence of that can be seen in this youtube video showing an XO with Ubuntu Linux that is doing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJhWcWOQNaE For many recipients of XO laptops, the lack of software support to display youtube videos is a non-issue because they do not have the Internet access that is also necessary. Major resources still need to be developed to provide Internet access with sufficient bandwidth to support video for every child.
