This year, OLPC teamed up with Amazon for smoother ordering and distribution.

Amazon will begin for the XO laptops on Monday. The devices will be shipped within 30-days in the U.S. or longer for people ordering from the or other parts of the world.

All orders from outside the U.S. will be taken through Amazon's and will be delivered in the first quarter of next year or later, OLPC said in a statement.

OLPC was started by people at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology () with a goal of creating a low-cost US$100 laptop for school kids in countries where education budgets are less than $20 per child and most kids don't stay in school past the firth grade.

Although its initial laptop, the XO, costs double the target price, the organization has blossomed. OLPC has shipped more than 500,000 XO laptops to children in 31 countries including Afghanistan, Cambodia and Iraq. The organization hopes to deliver 1 million by the end of this year.
