However, let's keep in mind that since they announced that price, the U.S. dollar has dropped significantly in value. Or, to be more blunt, it's tanked.

Meaning that the price per unit in US$ is bound to increase correspondingly.]]>Oct 4th 2007 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/uruguay-reportedly-set-to-buy-100-000-olpc-xo-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/uruguay-reportedly-set-to-buy-100-000-olpc-xo-laptops/Oct 4th 2007 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/uruguay-reportedly-set-to-buy-100-000-olpc-xo-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/uruguay-reportedly-set-to-buy-100-000-olpc-xo-laptops/

Sad to have all this hype for years over us getting useful cheap laptops we could use - and this being the result. Oh well. When it actually is $100 and costs $200 to send it to a kid somewhere, deal me in. ]]>Oct 4th 2007 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/uruguay-reportedly-set-to-buy-100-000-olpc-xo-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/04/uruguay-reportedly-set-to-buy-100-000-olpc-xo-laptops/
