Edward, just curious where you got the information that the price will decrease to $75 by 2010. Are you quoting the price of the XO-2 as announced at the OLPC Global Conference back in May?Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:37:48 -0700 From: "Edward Cherlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Grassroots-l] laptops in China/ Zhong guo To: "Bryan Berry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8On Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 8:02 PM, Bryan Berry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:From: sarah rothenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Grassroots-l] laptops in china To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Hi all- I am an environmental researcher in a remote village in southwestern China- would like very much to set up a computer lab here for the kids in the village- I am excited by all the people involved with OLPC. Just curious- is anyone else working in China? and I am also not sure whether a computer lab is best, or to try and purchase enough computers for each child (I think the latter may be too costly)- your thoughts are appreciated-The current price is about $200 per unit. We are told that this will decrease to $75 in 2010. Some of us are trying to find funding for more placements. You are welcome to join the conversation. Rabi OLE Nepal |
