I still think a modified Nintendo DS would have done much more for the same price; if they could get them onboard.
Well that's sort of the point, does it have a positive effect for that cohort of kids years later? The OLPC hardware was looking rough several years ago and Uruguay's Plan Ceibal and other projects aren't using their hardware today. For reasons unclear to me, Sugar Labs (their OS / UI) just got nonprofit status last year?
