I heard Negroponte speak at the ISTE conference last July, and he said that the buy-one/donate one concept was one of the funding ideas being kicked around, but that their first priority was manufacturing for countries willing to commit to large numbers or units. I don't remember what their minimum order was; maybe half a million? The point is, western countries retail is not their target.
