It costs more than OLPC and you say beat that? What's there to beat?
OLPC's OS has resolution of 1024x768, it can run more than 3 softwares at a time, yes we tried that. X server was forwarded via ssh and firefox and gnome-calculator were run. So, that means it has more than basic networking that XP SE has.
And the best of all, OLCP in it's current version just cost $150 whereas this will cost $3 for the software + $400 for the hardware. Almost 2.68 times the cost. Beat that!
