What are your thoughts on the $100 laptop?

Nicholas Negroponte, founder of One Laptop per Child, said: "Intel joins the OLPC board as a world leader in technology, helping reach the world's children. Collaboration with Intel means that the maximum number of laptops will reach children."

Chip-maker Intel has joined forces with the makers of the $100 laptop. The agreement marks a huge turnaround for both the not-for-profit One Laptop per Child (OLPC) foundation and Intel.

Participating countries are able to purchase the XO in lots of 250,000. They will initially cost $176 (£90) but the eventual aim is to sell the machine to governments of developing countries for $100 (£50).

Nicholas Negroponte is John Negroponte's younger brother. The concept might be valid, but the family is highly suspect. 'Nuff said.
