    the $100 laptop competitor

    check this one: http://www.asiatotal.net
    they say it will be free




    "iT is a compact, ultra-simple, portable desk top computer complete with everything necessary to connect to the Internet, home entertainment devices, printer, USB card reader for reading the memory cards of digital cameras and many other USB peripherals.

    It has been developed, designed and manufactured to be distributed free in order to enhance the lives of the millions of people in the world who - for economic reasons - are not connected to the Internet. A way to move them out of the digital underclass. "

    That's good news. I've read about other projects on $100 laptops in africa

    Amazing how they ask over 100 euros for just a keyboard with some quick buttons to mail & msn.

        That looks like a cash register.

        Fling.com doesn't steal your traffic and sales unlike some other dating companies. I promote them, and so should you!

            Virgin and a few other companies tried something along these lines in 99-00.

            They were basically just for internet use and all of the various business models doing this failed.

            Cool shit if they can make it work!

            Spend you some brain.

                  how can they produce something like that and afford to give it away for free?

                      heh, it seems like just another way for multinational corporations to rape the less fortunate over with greed while shoving some kind of 'save the world' bullshit down everyones throat. just like the IMF fucking over 3rd world countries by loaning them money and then raping the country of its resources. (ie. Jamacia)

                      on these $100 laptop there are 'hot keys' which:

                      The ten special hotkeys will be solely 'owned' by their Sponsors. Touch any of these keys and you go directly to the Sponsor's site.
                      heh yea, surely thats to "move them out of the digital underclass".

                      as karl marx once said, 'the rich will do anything but get off the backs of the poor.'

                      Often times I wonder why
                      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                      When sickness comes I must decide:
                      When feelings go, theres suicide.
