$100 Laptop

Just in case you haven’t heard about the $100 laptop I thought I would mention it on my blog. An army of these in Malawi would be so awesome.

The proposed $100 machine will be a Linux-based, full-color, full-screen laptop that will use innovative power (including wind-up) and will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data. These rugged laptops will be WiFi- and cell phone-enabled, and have USB ports galore. Its current specifications are: 500MHz, 1GB, 1 Megapixel.

I am a firm believer that end users come up with the coolest innovations, and I can’t wait to see what a million kids in Africa do with their laptops.
