The linked picture you gave looks nothing like the one in the article. The only thing similar is the placement of the activity lights and the square shape of whatever those buttons are above the keyboard at the hinge.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/Aug 3rd 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/Aug 3rd 2007 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/Aug 3rd 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/Aug 3rd 2007 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/
"Medison’s owners also revealed that they do not see the computers as their most important source of income. Instead the big money will come from advertisements on the web site, ads which the company will sell to suppliers of accessories and auxiliary equipment.

Ivancic mentioned that the advertisements could cost anywhere between 15 000 dollars and almost three millon dollars."

1. Sensational claim leads tens of thousands to visit website
2. Gain revenue from advertising and a few gullible buyers
3. Refund the $150 in a few months after advertising money and interest has accumulated.
4. Take the remaining money and go on holiday.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/
Moral of the story: Stay as far away from that thing as possible.

Why one or the other? They don't compete directly.

You see, the OLPC is a computer, and Medison Celebrity are the lies of a mad man.

I'm sure they'll both do great on their own respective markets.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/Aug 3rd 2007 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/Aug 3rd 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/*14-inch WXGA screen, an optimized Fedora Linux install

So I guess it's even sadder that it's not. The press conference was a joke - did you read the damn article? The journalists were shown one laptop with a sticker removed, and he couldn't answer to even one of the hard questions.]]>Aug 4th 2007 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/medison-reveals-more-details-on-150-laptop/Dec 9th 2007 3:37AM
