One Laptop Per Child has agreed to sell its laptops through Amazon from November until the end of the year.

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization has signed a deal with Amazon to sell its low-cost laptops under the Give 1 Get 1 (G1G1) program from November through the end of the year, the BBC reports.

OLPC had run the program, under which people pay for two laptops at a total cost of $398, receiving one with the other going to a schoolchild in a developing nation, but it had run into problems with production delays, which it hopes the partnership with Amazon will overcome.

The deal will only be open to US residents, as comes as OLPC announces that it will introduce a new generation of the computer in 2010, which it expects to cost $80, breaking the $100 barrier that was its original goal.
