Looks like the One Laptop Per Child is getting a MAJOR update. Looking at this I think I now want one for myself. If it ever comes out. There trying for the less than $100 (US) price range. Good luck with that considering the last model was $150 (if memory serves me correctly)

Yeah, I agree... good luck getting it down to $100. I don't think they can make it much more minimalistic than they already have, barring some changes in price.

But the concept overall-- and I'm talking how it's marketed as well-- is ingenious. They're simply applying microeconomic solutions to a problem. If you look at how microloans and teaching of microeconomics are being used in impoverished areas (such as Kiva), well, this is a somewhat similar concept as far as function.

I'd be one of the first to hop on the bandwagon if it honestly delivered what it promised, but it still seems to be struggling to get this grand idea into a package that makes sense. Bloated-Ware isn't something I have time for.
