    I think this is a fantastic idea. They currently cost about $200 but they hope to get it down to about $100 within a year or so. Runs on Linux, has built in wireless and loads of other stuff.

    Obviously it will be a very low spec, but it should be enough for some really basic stuff, I think it would be nice to have one - and with the "Give One - Get One" scheme you can get one for yourself, and give a really fantastic charitable donation...
