On Wednesday, Amazon and the OLPC Project announced that the XO-1 laptop would be available for sale in the US as a Give One, Get One arrangement on November 17th. At that point, the OLPC said XO availability on Amazon storefronts in other countries was a possibility.
Today, it was announced that Amazon and the OLPC are opening the sales of XO laptops to 30 countries on Monday. This is the first time that these laptops have been offered for general sale outside of the United States and Canada.
Amazon turned quite a few heads when it announced that it would be entering the music download business by selling MP3s unencumbered by Digital Rights Management (DRM).

By dint of its openness and multiple platform support, users should really be looking to Amazon -- rather than Apple -- for their digital music needs.
