Relevance: 11.37
It has taken more than two years, but the One Laptop Per Child initiative has finally released its much-anticipated laptop: the OLPC XO-1. The XO-1 costs $200 each to donate, but for a limited time until Dec. 31, 2007 people can avail themselves of the"Give One, Get One" promotion to give a $399 donation ($200 of which is tax-deductible). This is certainly a different business model in this"me, me, me" holiday season: Instead of buying something for yourself, you buy technology for a child who needs it, with a fringe benefit of a gift laptop for your household.

I've been demoing this little green laptop for months. Everywhere I go, it's a star, and everyone who sees it always asks me the same question: when can I get one?

The mission of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is ambitious: to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child.
