It was never actually 100 dollars to begin with. They set out to make a marketable $100 laptop, but came to the conclusion that they could not do anything with that price point, so they upped it to this. It's not a matter of it becoming more expensive, but being more realistic. With time, the price will come back down again, but that hasn't happened yet.
