    This could be a new equalizer for the global digital/economic divide. It took years for the $100 laptop computer for every child program to get going. The device they produced was not as powerful or sleek looking as this Android SpeedPad, but if it can retail at the same price, and can be encased in rugged outer shell/case, then this would be a power house of a learning tool for kids around the world, that could be useful for years (despite Moore’s law and corporate/capitalist planned obsolescence)

    Kids could use it to learn to read, write, speak, learn other lanuages, create visual art, create music, and download MIT’s Open curriculum.

    I’d love one, but my aging and weakening eyesight makes me want to use the new big “all in one” HP 9100 Touch, with 23″ monitor/computer in single unit as my “laptop” workstation – at 23 pounds, it weighs about the same as my current, 3 year old Dell laptop.
