See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6679431.stm for an accessible 
(non-ultra-geek) Factfile on the XO

Especially interesting is the info on network connectivity: " Using 
standard wireless protocols, the laptops are automatically able to form 
a "mesh network" where each machine acts as both laptop and router, able 
to pass information between computers."

There is a flash based demo of a mesh network between laptops, and 
between laptops and internet routes.

Hope this is helpful for someone.
