It's amazing how the crank/pedal/people power meme is connected with the XO. The tech press is delighted with this initiative since there is a perfect photo with it. Brilliant touch, painting the machinery Pantone-361 green :-) Nota: the Freeplay crank was not widely distributed due to the limited power generation (an XO is still needier than say a cellphone), and there are issues having kids crank for an hour for 90 minutes of charge time...
