They're multiplying. 3GSM saw six of the first test production run of Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child on display, and while they're far from finished they're evidence that full production isn't far away. Only 800 or so have been made to date, but the next run should make upwards of 7,000, with full production due in August. The ones we saw were slower than the final versions, but ran word processing and full motion video without a hitch. They also survived a repeated drop several times onto the floor from a couple of feet, a good attribute for a device that'll have to survive a long way from the nearest repair shop.
