I'm still using the un-official interface of porn. And 8 tracks.

Like we don't already have enough fat children in America. We have to give them electronic toys so they get less exercise than they already do. smart idea toy companies!

And tell me... why is that the OLPC didn't think of this one?

I just gave my 2 yr old son my old PC. I supervise him with it and just use the many awesome websites out there for childrena dn learning. Much better than a 50.00 fake puter. Just my opinion. He already is learning to type and is great with the mouse. Gettign him ready for school early so he will be ahead of the game. Looks good for non computer savvy parents though to get as a gift for their children.

Yeah webtoole is right, an old computer has no value, $50 for a toy isn't much of a favor compared to a real system for them to get used to. Lot of people upgrade and there's really nothing you can sell it for these days if it's 5 years old or more. Best to wipe the drive and give it to them to learn on with a real keyboard and even basic Windows.

As with all gaming consoles, this will succeed or fail on the strength and availability of the "games". My 3yr-old's PC is already "wireless", and the free online games for kids are getting really good - huge number to choose from, wide variety, everything from super easy to downright tough and since they are for kids most of them have some educational benefits (some have a LOT).

This does look like it has potential for families without a home PC or with high demand for PC time that denies the kid(s) adequate time. I guess it could also (only temporarily) postpone the virtual social life, online exploitation and porn surfing... that might be the most positive aspect.
