AMD's PIC (personal Internet computer), an inexpensive Windows CE-based computer aimed at developing nations, has successfully booted Linux, according to a Siamese Wiki devoted to the OLPC (One Laptop per Child) initiative. The Wiki shows the PIC runing an Edubuntu image created for the OLPC project.

I would like to know how much the PIC costs if you buy it as a standalone product and not via a isp.
How much cheaper would it be if it came preloaded with linux/bsd ?
Does the modem work?
Would be nice if it had a LAN port.
