OLPC XO shipments delayed until Q4?
You'll have to take this with the usual hefty grain of salt, but according to China's Commercial Times, OLPC manufacturer Quanta has been forced to push back its target ship date for the XO from July to sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. Leading to this speculation is the fact that Quanta has apparently yet to release its orders for various parts and components set for inclusion in the laptop, which would seem to indicate that a July ship date would be tough to meet. It would also, of course, seem to make the promised ten million laptops before year's end a bit unlikely.[Thanks, Eric]

I'm so sick of hearing about the OLPC. Please engadget, no more articles about this.

OLPC still with a vaporware's spirit.
I wonder how much money they are earning just with the interest.

I'm pretty sure they haven't gotten any huge lump sums from Libya et al. yet, so any interest they're getting is from their investors. But they're a not-for-profit so it's not like anyone's gonna get richer than they already are.
