I'm sure they would be a hit, and they could use the additional profits to subsidize the overseas efforts to provide them at reduced prices (sort of what happens on teh drug industry)]]>Dec 6th 2006 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/intels-classmate-pc-to-go-head-to-head-with-olpc-in-brazil/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/intels-classmate-pc-to-go-head-to-head-with-olpc-in-brazil/

The $100 and $400 pricepoints for Brasil are not an apples to apples comparison. In its current version the XO1 OLPC is probably more above $150 plus local taxes. Since the machine is not produced in Brasil at all, this can double the price for the Brasilian market. The Intel product, if manufactured locally can easily be closer to $300 than $400. In another words: stay tuned for the actual prices that are going to be heavily dependant on local production of components and local assembly of the systems. Also, remember that the Intel product is actually a reference design that will be produced by PC manufacturers, including locals or multinationals with manufacturing presence in Brasil.

Additionally, I will go ahead and publish the Specs for the Classmate PC so you can see what kind of hardware is in the machine. Please go ahead and check my blog in a few minutes at: http://p6.hostingprod.com/@ricardosblog.com/blog/intel/classmate_pc/

I just wonder how fair the competition will be. Intel is offering a reference design so local manufacturers will be happy, but Negroponte has promised to buy 100,000 OLPC servers from Brazilian manufacturers too. Brazil's President will be feeling pressure to pick the group offering the most domestic production.]]>Dec 6th 2006 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/intels-classmate-pc-to-go-head-to-head-with-olpc-in-brazil/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/intels-classmate-pc-to-go-head-to-head-with-olpc-in-brazil/
So... does the Classmate run Windows?]]>Jan 11th 2007 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/intels-classmate-pc-to-go-head-to-head-with-olpc-in-brazil/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/intels-classmate-pc-to-go-head-to-head-with-olpc-in-brazil/when the OLPC came out they were the first.. they offered to give every child a PC and they made it work.. without funding from the PC deep pockets.. NOW that its not only a reality but proving to be VERY VERY popular all the other company's are jumping on the bandwagon.. to do what ? make more money ?.. if for everyone BUT OLPC it was really about the children they would work WITH the OLPC team and make something worthwhile..

The more these company's bicker over such things.. the more i lose respect for them ]]>Jan 11th 2007 10:50AM
