Many expected this\nmachine to be unveiled at the CES technology fair which opens in Las Vegas\non 5 January.\n\nThe first versions of the OLPC or XO laptop were powered by a chip made by\nIntel's arch-rival AMD.\n\n\n\nThe green and white XO machine was designed specifically for children, was\nruggedised to cope with conditions in developing nations and could be kept\npowered using a hand crank.\n\nIntel spokesman Chuck Molly said it had taken the decision to resign from\nthe OLPC board and end its involvement because the organization had asked it\nto stop backing rival low-cost laptops.\n\nThe chip maker has been promoting its own cheap laptop, the Classmate, in\nmany of the same places as the OLPC.\n\n\"OLPC had asked Intel to end our support for non-OLPC platforms, including\nthe Classmate PC, and to focus on the OLPC platform exclusively, \" said Mr\nMulloy . \"At the end of the day, we decided we couldn't accommodate that\nrequest.\"\n\nHe added that the use of AMD chips in the first XO laptops had not\ninfluenced its decision.\n\nCost breakdown of OLPC laptop\nSo far the OLPC has yet to comment on the split.\n\nPrior to Intel's involvement, OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte criticized\nthe chip firm for what he called its attempts to undermine the project's\nwork.\n\nHe said Intel was selling its Classmate at a loss to make the XO laptop less\nattractive.\n\nWhile Dr Negroponte's initial aim was for a laptop costing only $100 the\nfinal versions that have been trialled in Nigeria and Uruguay cost\n$188 (#95).\n\nCosts were supposed to be kept low by governments ordering the XO laptop in\nshipments of one million but large orders for the XO laptop have, so far,\nnot materialized.\n\nIn a bid to boost the numbers of laptops available OLPC ran a \"Give One, Get\nOne\" program in the US from 12 November to 31 December.\n\nThis allowed members of the public to buy two XO machines - one for\nthemselves and one for a OLPC project elsewhere.\n\nOLPC said the success of this had helped it to launch programmes in Haiti,\nRwanda, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mongolia, and Afghanistan.\n \n_____________________________________________________________\nTime Shares at affordable prices.
