Just like the problems with the laptop, and the problems with us sending machines to these countries to help them make more profit on the land I see 2 problems:
-Where will they get spare parts from (I doubt that the average starving etheopian doest know enough about mobile phones to swap a couple of components)
-Where do they get a wall socket from to recharge the thing?

I really love this system! Next thing you know a convicted burgular will sue the state for lost income-out-of-theft while he was in prison.
