This whole project is laughable and total waste of money and resources. Here are some points to ponder:
a. How many of the millions of children in developing countries know good english to be able to even utilise these laptops.
b. how many of the teachers in the schools are tech-savvy enough to be able to help the students with the laptops?
c. who is going to teach the teachers in the laptop based instruction? who is going to create the contents and curriculums suitable for use through these laptops. who is going to maintan/repair these laptops. An most importantly who is going to bear the costs for the above-mentioned activities? MIT? The govt of the countries buying these laptops? or the UN?!
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
