OPLC to be sold by Amazon
OPLC i.e. One Laptop Per Child has announced that they are going to sell their XO mini laptop computers on Amazon.com. It will be started from Monday. The program originally designed to sell these laptops was OPLC, in which the bulk orders from different govts of third world countries were to provide these laptops. But the poor interaction policy of OPLC couldn't get enough orders. This program is slightly changed and Amazon.com will offer $400 per laptop and 1 piece will be offered to a poor child from this cost.
XO runs on XP, although a Fedora based Linux desktop is also there. Its screen is 7.5 inch having 900 pixels, a digitel camera, a WiFi card, Flash storage. It is almost like Asus eeePC. A new version may be provided in 2010 which will have faster processor and more flash storage.
