The way I see it:
* Goal is $100 laptop
* Runs under Linux
* Excellent visibility in bright sun
* Runs Display uses only 0.1W in sun
* Can be charged by solar power
* built-in 802.11 wireless plus automatic MESHING with others
* Targeted at youth worldwide...

And on and on...

Seems the perfect platform for HAM radio!
