Okay, just found http://www.conectarigualdad.gob.ar/sobre-el-programa/evaluacion-y-seguimiento/informe-de-avance-de-entregas/ which supposedly provides the number of distributed netbooks and is updated on a weekly basis. The count as of today is 358,227. And that half a million figure I had mentioned earlier in the thread is the goal of the first distribution phase not the number handed out by December.
