from the pictures at that link, it seems to be related to the XO-3,
which, while under developmentd for a very long time, was never
released, nor produced in more than prototype quantities. and, it was a
very different beast than the "XO Tablet" produced by vivitar. (i
know that james knows this -- i'm just clarifying for others.)

Thank you for your clarification.
Indeed, the One Tablet Per Child project was started by intelliTablet,
because the XO-3 never came to market.
But form my point of view the chronology has some more facts to list:
1. The OLPC developed the concept and a design study of the XO-2 in 2008.
2. I showed a picture of the XO-1Beta of the year 2005 on one of my
websites [1]. Because I thought the XO-1 is already a convertible laptop
respectively tablet laptop (see also [2]) that features a touchscreen,
due to the reason that I confused touch pad with touchscreen, I
described the XO-1 as "Tablet Computer Convertible One Laptop per Child
(OLPC) XO-1" (move the mouse on the image to see the description).
3. The OLPC developed the concept and prototypes of the XO-3 and
presented it on the CES in January 2012 for example.
4. Because the OLPC presented the XO-2 and the XO-3, but no direct
successor of the XO-1, my business division intelliTablet came back to
my concept of the convertible tablet computer variant of the XO-1 (see
again point 2.) and presented it on the 17th of July 2012 and 19th of
July 2012 ([3] and [4]). The device should be an integration of the XO-1
and the XO-3, or said in other words, an XO-1 with a (multi-)touchscreen.
5. 8 days later the OLPC presented the XO-4 Touch in a press release.
6. Wikipedia describes the XO-4 in the following way [5]: "The XO 4 is a
refresh of the XO 1 to 1.75 with a later ARM CPU and an optional touch
screen."
7. Due to these points, I claimed in my first e-mail to this thread that
"The One Tablet Per Child (OTPC) project is very well known by the OLPC
headquarter as the XO-1 with touchscreen is."
Maybe, some details are not correct.
Have fun
