I've posted about bitfrost some time ago. Yesterday I came upon this presentation on the OLPC project by Ivan Krstić.
OMG! I want one of those!
If half of what those guys are trying to do will actually happen, OLPC can change the world. Even if the educational goal are not met (and I can't see the reason why), the technology created to build those little machines is so impressive, I can hardly breathe! Things like power management (including sub-perception - ~100ms - sleep and restore), multi-mode displays, the implementation of mashed wireless networking, backup mechanism or the security system are way beyond of what we use today. I'd like to see those in palmtops, smartphones and the like.
I hope thy will succeed and I will be able not only to get one of OLPCs in my hands, but we all will make a giant leap forward in portable devices.
Keep it up!
