I heard about this a while back and liked the idea. The laptop will not be sold. It will be given to schools through government grants. www.laptop.org
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit association dedicated to research to develop a $100 laptop—a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world's children. This initiative was launched by faculty members at the MIT Media Lab. It was first announced by Lab co-founder Nicholas Negroponte, now chairman of OLPC, at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland in January 2005.MIT just unveiled the first working prototype at the Seven Countries Task Force. I don't know if I like the design...but, I do like the orange. (How did they fit those kids in there?)
