250,000 XO laptops coming to India!
India has finally given up on their own cheap laptop initiative.
The Indian government has apparently placed an order for 250,000 XO laptops for distribution amongst school going children.
This huge order is also likely to help the OLPC project which has been struggling in the recent times due to lack of orders for the XO Laptop.
OLPC had launched a pilot program in India in 2007 with 20 XO laptops at a school in Khairat-Dhangarwada village in the state of Maharashtra.
The test was successful but the government did not show much interest in further purchases.
