Global laptop project raises its price again, almost double original $100 goal - International Herald Tribune: "he vaunted '$100 laptop' that Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers dreamed up for international schoolchildren is becoming a slightly more distant concept. Leaders of the nonprofit One Laptop Per Child that was spun out of MIT acknowledged Friday that the devices would cost $188 (€136) if mass production, expected to begin this fall, were to start now. The last price the nonprofit had announced was $176 (€127); it described $100 (€72) as a long-term goal."
