The Hundred-Buck PC

Posted by michael on from the buy-two-get-one-free dept.

skreuzer writes "MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte has a plan to build a $100 PC for the developing world, which is supposedly going to have a 14-inch color screen and run on Linux, has the backing of AMD, Google, Motorola, Samsung, and News Corp. Apparently they're all getting mixed up in a joint-venture to produce the PC, which will be sold directly to governments only."

    Or not... seems this is very similar, also from AMD, but it is now a little cheaper and running linux instead of a version of windows.

    The $100 PC is old news, see last summer.
