New Design for $100 Laptop?

Posted on March 4, 2006 by

I was getting pretty attached to the mean green machine (left image) I thought was the approved designed for MIT’s “One Laptop Per Child” initiative. But Gizmologia shows a couple of other winning concept designs (right) that look quite different from the green model debuted at the WSIS by Nicholas Negroponte.

Most notable is the lack of the hand crank. Maybe its tucked away on the cover.

    I see the pics were taken by Martin Varsavsky… I just saw him over at Harvard on Friday afternoon, talking about his new Fon.com wi-fi service. He mentioned that he’d just gone to see Negroponte the previous day…. -ac
