The Raspbery Pi had a different experience.

In the end, what killed the OLPC was politics, not product execution. And the initiative was widely sucessfull, just in a way that was different from the stated roadmap.

Mozila is in a similar situation here. If somebody else make a device that replace their phones, they'll probably see it as sucess.

I disagree.

Rasberry pi seemed more like a 'hey, we could build x at this price. That's cool. Let's do it.' Olpc had a more complex longer term goal.
