First One Laptop Per Child PCs Coming This Year
It seems like Negorponte and co. have been working forever on the One Laptop Per Child project forever, but their hard work is about to pay off. The first $100-ish laptops will roll off the assembly line late this year, with production getting into full swing early in 2007. Quanta, a Taiwanese manufacturer, will build between 5 and 10 million laptops next year. The first orders are going to students in Thailand, Argentina, Brazil, Libya and Nigeria.
