OLPC’s 2 for 1 program coming back

According to a report on the c|net Crave gadget blog the One Laptop Per Child laptop will be returning with its Give One, Get One program. However this time around the program is going to be facilitated by Amazon.com.

So for $400 the nonprofit low-cost laptop program will send one XO to the purchaser and another one to a school-age child in some developing country. While back in September the OLPC said it wanted to revive the program it didn’t have the infrastructure needed to support the program by itself.

While Microsoft has been making Windows available for the OPLC it doesn’t cover the countries taking part in the Get One, Give One program. For some more info on the Windows XP version of the XO you can watch the c|net video below.
