OLPC Project Extends to American Students

From PC World -

The OLPC foundation plans to launch OLPC America this year to distribute its XO laptop to needy students in the United States.

OLPC's original aim was to develop a $100 laptop for kids in poor nations to ensure they don't miss out on the benefits of computing, and to make sure developing countries don't fall further and further behind modern nations due to the digital divide. However even before it launched it encountered stiff competition from commercial manufacturers which introduced competing products such as the Asus Eee PC and the Intel Classmate PC.
