Well it seems like they got everything that right in the latest model of the kinderlappy – as reviewed by it’s target audience:
I thought that this version was way better than the last one. It was just easier to figure out, more fun to spend time on, just better. It’s going to be hard to send it back to OLPC, but I’m going to have to. It’s great that they’re going to start selling them to the public. (You have to buy two, and you send one to a needy kid in a third world country and keep one for yourself. Read about it in the New York Times… …) I hope I can get one!
For a regular laptop, this would be the paragraph about its problems, its deficiencies. But the thing is, there aren’t any problems with this computer! Congratulations, OLPC. You’ve done it. Or will you come out with yet better laptops? Is that even possible? We’ll have to see…
It’s good to see that things are working as they should for those who are going to use it – even if the bean counters and theorists of the world can’t seem to see past what the project is really about – connecting and enabling content.
