Quanta shipping only 10,000 OLPC XO's per month? Try 100k (Engadget)

Dec 14th 2007 9:13AM Eeegad! This ain't good. In fact, this is downright scary. Please let that be a typo!

OLPC Give One, Get One shipping information gets posted (Engadget)

Dec 2nd 2007 8:05AM Yo Engadget, you need to make that "Do note" geographic reference a little more prominent. It looks like Canadian G1G1 participants might be getting the long end of the shipping stick: http://www.olpcnews.com/sales_talk/g1g1/xo_laptop_christmas_delivery.html

Uruguay reportedly set to buy 100,000 OLPC XO laptops (Engadget)

Oct 4th 2007 1:01PM Its really important to note that this is the first time OLPC XO and Classmate PC went head to head in open, government sponsored testing, the Ceibal RFP: http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/uruguay/olpc_uruguay_ceibal_proposal.html

"$100" OLPC XO-1 to cost at least $188, over $200 in Uruguay (Engadget)

Sep 16th 2007 10:09AM I think the reason we're seeing the XO price increase is the lack of government orders to date reducing the number of computers Quanta is willing to make on spec. They're even delaying production again! http://www.olpcnews.com/hardware/production/xo_laptop_production_delay.html

Walt Mossberg gives Ubuntu the cold-shoulder (Engadget)

Sep 14th 2007 5:49PM If users "simply want their digital products to operate as promised" then they would bequickly frustrated with Windows anything. Ubuntu is a dream of operational ease by comparison, no matter the driver install requirements.
