[school-discuss] $100.00 laptop

["Gordon J. Holtslander" <holtslander@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Came across these sites:

haven't noticed this being discussed here.

A $100.00 dollar laptop running linux - intended for education in the 
developing world - and likely very practical for the developed world to.

prototype to be released at  World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) 
http://www.itu.int/wsis/ in November.

It looks like it is intended to support tablet style use (in addition to a 
keyboard)- so one can use it without using a keyboard.  This opens many 
avenues.
