The One Laptop Per Child project announced Wednesday that it plans to downsize half of its staff and reduce the salary of the remaining employees. OLPC will also halt its development of the open source Sugar environment and focus on building its next-generation hardware device. These plans are part of a major restructuring effort that has been necessitated by the financial downturn and the organization's dwindling resources.

I thought it had more to do with the device being super expensive and generally lackluster when compared to everything else available.
Had they just played ball, and sold it in the states for $199 though could have sold a boatload IMHO. Nope, Only way to get one was to pay double.
