$100 Laptop Goes into Mass Production
The One Laptop per Child group says the first XO laptops for use in schools will be manufactured by Quanta in October
This sounds like a great cause. The laptop will be able to run on, "Laptop batteries can be recharged using a rip cord, a crank, a pedal, a car battery, or solar panels - in fact, anything that can produce between 10 and 20 volts of electricity, Jensen said."
Hopefully this will enable children in developing nations a chance
From their vision statement, "Our goal: To provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment and express themselves."
To give you an idea of the potential: OLPC said it has received orders for three million machines but refused to say which countries are involved.
May God bless their efforts!!!
