OLPC Give One Get One sales confirmed to begin on November 17

OLPC Give One Get One sales confirmed to begin on November 17
Despite some earlier reports that Amazon would begin sales of the next XO laptop Give One Get One program on November 1, it looks like that date was off by a few weeks.  The latest information, along with confirmation from the OLPC foundation is that sales will begin on November 17.  That’s a bit longer to wait than we originally expected, but on the bright side that just gives us a little longer to put some money aside.

Other than the availability date, pricing information has not yet been announced.  We can venture a pretty solid guess that we will be seeing the same $399 price tag from last year, but time will tell just how accurate that will be.  Of course, with a November 17 sale date, if you are looking to get these in time for the holiday season you may want to be prepared to place your order on that first day.  The good part is that the sales are being handled through Amazon which should alleviate any of those shipping delays that we saw last year.
