OLPC Gets a New Name, New Features

According to a story on Ars Technica, the $100 MIT Laptop is now going to cost $140. It has a new name — it’ll now be called the Children’s Machine 1 (CM1). The added price comes with new features! The laptop will now come with a 400 MHz AMD processor, 512 Megs of Flash storage, an SD card slot, mic and headphone jacks, a built in camera, built-in wireless, and an 8-inch LCD at a 1280×900 resolution.

You know, for $140, I think this thing would be popular over on these shores also. 1280*900! Great stuff. Sad there is a price hike, but at least the machine seems to be vastly improved.
