I was fortunate enough to get an Impromptu Demo of OLPC’s Children’s Machine (aka $100 dollar laptop) by Håkon Wium Lie Chief Technology Officer at Opera Software . The group responsible for the initiative gave the Opera team a working prototype of the laptop so they could test Opera’s software on the machine. This is an actual working prototype with internet accessibility any everything! All in all a noble cause.The audio gets better as the video continues. The following countries have announced they are interested in the program
* Argentina
* Brazil
* Cambodia
* Costa Rica
* Dominican Republic
* Egypt
* Libya
* Nigeria
* Pakistan
* Rwanda
* Tunisia
* Uruguay
* Venezuela

You can read more about the laptop at wikipedia
