[OLPC-DE] Negroponte himself: G1G1 in Europe in August or September

Di Mai 27 07:23:00 EDT 2008

Ich würde diese Information trotzdem mit Vorsicht geniessen.

Laut meinen letzten Informationen wird G1G1 vermutlich nur in "select 
European countries" verfügbar sein!

Wie immer ist alles noch work-in-progress und ich persönlich würde mal 
bis August bzw. September abwarten und schauen was sich bis dahin tut...

Lg,
Christoph
