What's exotic? The FOSS linux platform with Gnome desktop certainly is not exotic. If you mean the dual-mode display, indeed that's exotic. The exotic display coupled with non-exotic FOSS is what makes the thing so appealing.

BTW, all other devices that use a pixelqi screen are COTS proprietary using closed-source walled garden software.

That's the only hurdle. But the OP is a developer, so it's feasible for him to get one. The orgs selling them are loose with procurement.. you need not be a developer for the OLPC project to get one.
