The 3G OLPC Laptop

That's three grand, not third generation. A (possibly biased) report by Vital Wave pegs the 5 year TCO of the OLPC at $2,700. That's even more than my estimate of $972/laptop from back in 2006, which got me in NewsForge and called a racist child-hater in Slashdot.

I was like WTF for a 3G OLPC

I was like WTF for a 3G OLPC laptop. They don't even have cell phones, and no 3G at all.

Anyway, is it that expensive to make a OLPC laptop?
