I think there is always the toss-up between making a profit and making a difference... As David Pogue said in his talk at TED in 2006; "Keep it Simple" I think that is the only way it can work. If we tone down the gadgets, therefore dropping the price, we can start to make it more accessable I agree the One Laptop Per Child initiative is a great idea and just hope the implementation is there. It does have great possibilities to influence education in the areas that need it most. Thanks for the comment.

I'm wondering though, if there is a space for low cost manufacturing of generic devices whcih maybe don't have all the bells & whistles of an i-Phone or a High end mobile phone, but allows people to access crucial empowering information. Kinda like a mobile freedom toaster manufactured in SA. Something to take the OLPC idea to a realistic place.
