<incom> OLPC and ICT4D

[Paul Swider]

I'm a journalist working on a story about the OLPC and its effects. I'm curious, from the
standpoint of ICT4D, what people see has or think will happen to the industry as a result of this device. Will we see more flash-driven machines (I think we are)? Will we see more sw development for this machine/OS/GUI? Will 
the more commercial enterprises now recognize, as Intel and Microsoft appear to be doing, that there is a market even in developing countries for the right sized/priced computing product? Are there other downstream effects coming?

If you want to respond to me off-list, you can send to this email or to pswider at sptimes.com,
although I can see that this thread might be appropriate for the list.
