Project: OLPC (One Laptop Per Child)

This is a really niffty device! The article (click the title of this post) describes many of its technological specs, but basically it is meant to be easily used by kids! Meaning withstand impacts, touch-screen capable, easily rechargable, super-mobile, automatic ad-hoc networking, usb device ready, linux based (cheap!), and fun!

It's like the ultimate protable device! If it comes with any VoIP software, it becomes a combination laptop, cellphone, and potential TV (ipTV streaming).

And it will only cost $100 or less.

I'm extremely excited for the potential that this device offers. Think open source development gets a huge new developer base as kids are learning linux and getting access to technology at much younger ages.

Kidworks will majorly benefit from something like this! Can't wait for it to become available!
