Interesting - but the Altera, only in the prototypes, I'd guess....

Hi Jim,
you maybe right, the OLPC minimum order quantity is 3 MILLION pieces, eg minimum order value of round 450 Mio USD, so I guess it does pay off to go ASIC at those volumes ;)
I wonder a bit that the 100 USD target price goal have not met - as I heard there is serious project to develop a mobile phone with sub 10 USD manufacturing costs !
so if a mobile phone manufacturing cost can be pushed below 10 USD, then it is surprising that a laptop cant be pushed below 100

Perhaps because that project might in the end also not get below 15 USD?
