  If no one's seen one yet, I call scam. That website is just too slipshod. You're much better off going with one of the new OLPCs that will roll off production lines in October, or the EeePC, which at $50 more and with four times the RAM, is a steal (and an actual product). I blogged about both here:

  NPR radio was promoting it this morning! Are they willing to risk their reputation as well?

  Thanks for the article. But when you wrote, "...they can afford to lose any customers because of one Swedish company" did you intend to write "can't" instead of "can"?

  You are welcome, Donald and thank you, yes it should say "can't". Post is updated, thank you :-)

  This would be great for developing countries, if it's not a scam. They could even double the price and "donate" one for every purchase to new businesses owners. Again, if it's not a scam =P

  I would say that this is definitely a scam, but if it is legit you will most likely spend hours of time signing up for memberships that you will have to cancel at the end of the month. If you don't cancel them, your credit card will automatically get charged at the end of the month.
  
  Be sure to research websites with your local BBB or sites like http://www.trustreport.com before handing over any kind of personal information to a website.

  I find it hard to believe it, are they even allowed to sell such cheap laptops? I don't think I trust "cheap" as long as I can afford more, but then again we shouldn't deny poor people's joy of having a laptop.
