Yet another cheap laptop with OpenOffice.org preinstalled
"Measuring 9" in length and 2 pounds in weight, the Everex CloudBook caters to users seeking the latest in mobile computing. With its 1.2GHz VIA C7-M ULV mobile processor, the laptop averages 5 hours of battery life on a 4-cell, lithium-ion battery. Unlike many of its competitors, the CloudBook also features 30GB of internal storage, digital video output (DVI-I), 4-in-1 card reader and 1.3MP webcam.
...
The CloudBook, model CE1200V, showcases the Linux based gOS operating system and familiar applications from Mozilla, Skype, Google, Facebook, Faqly and OpenOffice.org. Available January 25th, the computer will be available at Walmart.com for $399."

The full announcement can be found here. I'm pretty sure that all these low-cost laptops will increase the global acceptance and market share of open source desktop software like OpenOffice.org. As a consequence, the OpenDocument Format (ODF) will become increasingly popular, too.
