Jessica Dolcourt posted a great article on the One Laptop Per Child initiative in Nigeria on CNET news. We are finally seeing the beginning of the first deployments of the laptop. I think we're going to be impressed with what these young children do with this technology. Photos and Video of the 3-day event also available.
Nice overview of the laptop:

What does the OLPC think about the cost of distributing the laptop per child in Nigeria? I see there are a few arguments on your calculations at your site.
Wait till you see how much a One Laptop Per Nigerian Child will cost. We've figured it would cost around 73% of the entire Nigerian government's income. That's not 73% of the education budget, but of the total income of the government to equip each child with a OLPC XO. And it would be 13% of government income each year to equip each new grade and replace older models. http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/nigeria/olpc_in_nigeria_budget.html
