A $100.00 dollar laptop running linux - intended for education in the developing world - and likely very practical for the developed world to.

prototype to be released at World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) http://www.itu.int/wsis/ in November.
It looks like it is intended to support tablet style use (in addition to a keyboard)- so one can use it without using a keyboard. This opens many avenues.
