It’s your chance!

Yes, it is now your chance to get the “$100″ laptop or XO! I think the sales in the US and Canada started a few days ago and will continue until Nov. 26. I wish i had an extra $400…

And if we are mentioning MIT (XO is their creation), check out this thread on Henry Jenkins blog.  He has a few posts exploring the educational potential of computer games.  Very interesting.

    Amazon has just started selling its Kindle, an ebook product with many characteristics of the OLPC, albeit more expensive. There is also a great site on infoDev on low cost computers:

    Thank you John! Actually i was just reading an article about Kindle this morning in Newsweek. As i was dong it, i couldn’t help but thinking about comparison to OLPC. I hope to share some thoughts about it soon.

    The link seems very interesting.
