I wouldn't go that far, I think the project is genuine. And I cold see how there would be a demand for CE based units too. Though I really hope they primarily focus on Linux a based solution. I am sure the children in the developing world don't want to be stuck with restrictive licensing issues.

You can already buy cheap CE based palmtops that do almost the same thing. The only real issues in this whole idea are power source and connectivity.

The project is real and some of us DO spend time in "those countries."
DSL works there as well as it does elsewhere. Trust me.
I have distributed DSL CD's in "those countries" and it is excepted well.
McGates does not have his claws in up to the elbows outside of the U.S. and Canada. Maybe a couple of other places.
