We've got a few of these at the NYCResistor space. I love the concept, and I think they are suited well to teach children rudimentary computer skills and the internet, but I have to admit i found them surprisingly unlike other computers, including normal linux distros. Why train kids on a UI that won't match anything they might use in the working world?

I believe these are actually designed to bring computing to 3rd world countries.

These guys are doing super great and now that they have started selling their laptops to public that was such a smart idea and doing Buy One Give One giving - literally. Many businesses cannot afford to do literal 'Buy One Give One' transaction-based giving so instead they can do this through the Buy1GIVE1 organisation. At www.Buy1-Give1Free.com any business can set up doing Buy1GIVE1 for any product or service anywhere in the world - it's amazing and simple. They started recently and have over 550 projects online now you can support starting from just 1c per transaction. So for example now a coffee shop could provide clean drinking water to a child for a day from the sale os a cup of coffee...
