Dear GKD Members,

I think that it is "nice" to think about the $100 computer. But one
needs to remember that cell phones are ubiquitous and relatively low
cost. One post secondary education institution is developing curricula
using the cell phone as the device of choice for their students. Cells
that are both WiFi and work on the cellular bands are on the market, and
some are predicting the $2 cell phone which is "printed", realizing that
these can be built up with the proper inks, which are even being used to
make mechanical devices.

Also, think about iPods and where the next generation is going to be,
rather than trying to make the past cheaper.

thoughts?
