New $100 Laptop for the Third World

Check out this post on a new one hundred dollar laptop intended for developing countries. Here's a quick features list:

Wireless Network
500 Mhz CPU
Sunlight readable screen
Open Source OS (likely)
dual mode display: color and monochrome
1GB memory
1GB flash (in place of hard drive)
Hand crank (provides 40 minutes of power in monochrome mode)

And, it comes in a really cool Green and Gold case!

I really like the fact that these things are internet enabled (provided they are deployed in an internet enabled country). Let's get these things out to a few million eager kids. Nothing topples crummy governments faster than free exchange of ideas!
