The Raspberry Pi project seems to have learned a ton of hard lessons from both OLPC I tend to associate the Raspberry Pi much more with the Arduino movement. I know they marketed it as a cheap PC for the masses, but IMHO that was more to just get press coverage. In practice you pretty much already need to have a PC on hand to download and burn the OS image to an SD card. The alternative is to buy a grossly overpriced SD card with the OS already on it, which completely defeats the purpose of buying a cheap PC. I really haven't heard of any movement of the RPi making PCs available to people who didn't already have one.
