$100 laptop now almost $200

The One Laptop Per Child foundation will raise the price of its low-cost computer to $188.

The computer was designed for sale directly to participating (undisclosed) governments, who, in turn, agreed to distribute the product at no cost to elementary school children. The foundation will consider now releasing the notebook to a commercial market, hoping to encourage competition to lower their prices.

Update: "Give 1, Get 1" at $399.
