Amazon will sell OLPC laptops

Starting in November, Amazon will sell the One Laptop Per Child XO laptop, a marvel of engineering and pedagogy, on a "give one, get one" basis: every XO you buy will also pay for one to be given to a kid in the developing world:
This year, OLPC teamed up with a Web retailer instead of running the program itself, said Matt Keller, director of Europe, Middle East and Africa at OLPC.

Amazon.com will start selling XO laptops under the Give One, Get One program in late November. Sales will likely extend through the end of December.
