OLPC Available to the Public Early 2008

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the but-is-it-a-tax-writeoff dept.

Zoxed writes "The BBC is reporting that the OLPC will be available to the public early next year on a buy-2-get-1 basis through eBay. With its cheap price, fully open spec. and full/open hardware support for Linux, expandability, 2W rating and LinuxBIOS booting it sounds like an embedded-Linux hackers favorite new toy."

    "Buy-2-get-1."

    Does this mean you ay for 2 and get 1, or get an extra one free? Because I can see how this would work:

    1. Sell OLPC on eBay, using strange wording to trick users.

    2. ???

    3. Profit?
