I do like the stainless steel trim on the keyboard but the graphics look kind of like grade school. ]]>Apr 22nd 2006 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/Apr 22nd 2006 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/Apr 22nd 2006 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/
Tell me more about this "impending worldwide release of the OLPC."

My favorite laptop.org news since the loss of crank power: "There was much discussion and progress towards how to provide Internet access to rural areas using a mix of satellite, WiMax and WiFi."

So what happened to the mesh?]]>Apr 22nd 2006 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/Apr 22nd 2006 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/Apr 23rd 2006 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/Apr 23rd 2006 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/
Probably not, but then again

Sex sells...

And don't forget, the word "Virgin" has some sexual overtones in english, and if I recall correctly there is a moderately successfull British company by that name despite that fact. And they do speak english in , uh...England as far as I know. I don't know how much Greek is spoken or how many Greeks there are in China...

Oh most definitely :). I'd be happy with a 10% cut of the venture capital wasted on Virgin's FAILED endeavors...let alone a piece of their actual current worth.

You know, looking at this "Municator" (inuendos aside) thing again, I find myself asking why it's basic functionality is not integrated in the majority of larger high end TVs ? Think about it...I've definitely seen gaps bigger than $150 between two nearly identical TV models except for some feature that hardly anyone would use (albeit that feature is usually a niche 'make or break the sale' kind of thing). And though at 400 - 800mhz DIVx rips of an quality you might want to watch on a large TV probably would not work too well, mild websurfing in the living room, light internet video streaming, and certainly digital picture viewing hold fairly universal apeal (particulalry if you spend $10 more and integrate a discrete little multi-card reader somewhere).

Even if it costs $300 per unit to integrate this (functionality at least) into larger flat TVs, what's an extra $300 on top of a $3000 - $7000 purchase ?

Then again, I guess if you can afford TV's like that you can likely afford a genuine media center PC... ]]>Apr 24th 2006 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/22/details-on-yellowsheeprivers-150-municator/Apr 25th 2006 6:47PM
