The $100 "One child per laptop" Laptop
Got this from <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/11/17/gallery_of_photos_of.html">boingboing</a>
And a gallery <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/B1_Pictures">here</a>
And weirdly of all weirdness, I really want one. £50 is a steal, it has a decent screen, has wireless internet and (I hope) a word processor. And flash memory.
I was looking about for portable computing recently. I wanted something bigger than a pda (that could do something more than my phone) but something smaller than a laptop so I didn't have to carry something huge. I looked at all laptop's now. Horrid things. Big, clunky, overheating.
Simply, small laptops do not exist, and the first instant I've found is one designed for children. And £50? My phone costs more.
Christmas coming up...
