If they actually manage to ship it, great. But it's been a while since
it was announced. They also have to hit rather high volumes to bring the
price that low, something they aren't doing yet.

With the One Laptop Per Child XO, many do regret the $100 moniker of it.
It was a worthy goal price, and at an average production cost $150 they
came far closer then most anyone else. But people still hold them to the
$100 as if they failed.

The now over a Million Kids who's lives have been improved by the
existence of the projects surrounding his platform certainly don't care.
It's already bought them better futures.
