Elonex OLPC news
UK PC manufacturer Elonex have released a device designed to compete with the OLPC market. A noteworthy aspect of this device is the price - £99. I know some of you are aware that the OLPC retails for about $400 dollars but there is a catch here. For every OLPC sold one is donated to a child in an underdeveloped country. Elonex will donate an Elonex One for every 100 devices sold!
