"Some say the Classmate PC is Intel's answer to (or competition with) the One Laptop per Child effort. Intel is hawking the lilliputian laptop in 'emerging markets' like Nigeria, India, and Mexico as a solution for worldwide education of primary and secondary students. It's to be officially released and shipped en masse to schools in Africa and South and Central America by the end of June. Recently my children and I borrowed a Classmate PC loaded with a custom version of Mandriva Linux. Most of us had fun."

I loved the comment "the battery life was pretty good, lasting at least two hours at a time". If that's not irony I don't know what is. I think that fact will hurt this computer way more than the suspicion that Intel is doing this only to hurt AMD or OLPC.
