I am generally not in the habit of posting blurbs about DynaBook wannabe
hardware, but the Simputer is different. It's a $200 computer intended for
the Indian market, based on open source software.

"The Simputer project was conceived during the organization of the Global
Village, an International Seminar on Information Technology for Developing
Countries, conducted during Bangalore IT. com event in October 1998. A
discussion paper highlights the need for a low-cost mass access device that
will bring local-language IT to the masses."

The CPU is a StrongARM 1111 at 206 MHz, screen size (320x240), memory
capabilities (32MB RAM) and the OS (GNU/Linux). Pen-based, no kbd.

Putting Squeak on this could be a good cause.
