Actually at USENIX they said they were considering the possibility of
selling a $300 model that would help fund the $100 models. The $300
model would look different (so they could tell if you mugged a kid for
one), and might have an adult-size keyboard.

Interestingly enough, every time I've looked over their
material, there is something about how the machines will
not be available for sale to just anybody, but will be
sold only through government educational programs. This
makes sense only if they cost more than $100 to produce--
for example, if it were *less* than $100, they'd be
thrilled to sell you one for $100 and use the profit to
make more machines for kids.
