Hands-on with the OLPC XO laptop -- and loving it

Like just about every other OLPC review I've seen, this one didn't so much answer my questions as inspire a host of new ones. What's the email client? How fast is it? What's the actual screen resolution? What's it like surfing the web with such a small screen? How much storage space has it got? how easy is it to manipulate files? What sort of graphics apps has it got? Is the audio/video quality good enough to use it for a poor-man's podcasting studio? Has it got an FTP client? Has it got a software-filled repository like any other Linux distro? Does the package manager have a GUI or do you have to do updates from the command line? Does it even get updates? How frequent are they? How long does it run on a charged battery.

Ratsandberries, I'm just going to have to buy one of the silly things aren't I?

Grrr!
