If the MIT Media lab can develop a $100 laptop for use in the developing world, why can’t somebody else make a great laptop for $300 to $400 for kids in US schools? I’m convinced if the price dropped to that point you’d see a big expansion of laptop programs in schools. Any thoughts on what the specs/design would be of a cheaper laptop for kids?

I know that $100 laptops are not that far away. I am curious as to how some of the older techno-phobic educators will deal with it!
