I'm sure they'll go on sale here soon. $183 each is great value but you
have to buy one to send to a 3rd world country, so even $366 or £200 is
still pretty good. I've got the 5W Koolu.com mini pc which uses the same
chip and even dual boot in to the OLPC interface, $300 direct from Koolu
or £250 from me (the VAT and delivery add a fair bit).
