Nicholas Negroponte speaking at TED about the OLPC project.
Quoted: TED Talks <p><a href="/index.php/speakers/view/id/38" target="_blank">Nicholas Negroponte</a> lays out the details of his nonprofit One Laptop Per Child project. Speaking just days after relinquishing his post as director of the MIT Media Lab, he announces that he'll pursue this venture for the rest of his life. He takes us inside the strategy for building the "$100 laptop," and explains why and how the project plans to launch "at scale," with millions of units distributed in the first seven countries. "This is not a laptop project; it's an education project," he says.</p><p><strong>Contact <a href="http://laptop.org/en/contact.shtml" target="_blank">One Laptop Per Child >></a> <br /></strong></p>

The OLPC laptop will be sold for a limited time in November to consumers who purchase two - one for their own use and one for a needy consumer.
I want I want I want! Seriously. Sounds like a great way to support a great initiative.

1 FaverViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: Move over notebooks. Netbooks have arrived. These compact, low-priced laptops pack a lot of computing power into a small container. They include word processing, e-mailing, and access to the Web via Wi-Fi connections. Most also double as still cameras and Webcams. And because they use less powerful chips, these devices often boast battery life of five to seven hours.
