Game developer David Braben creates a USB stick PC for $25

...it looks like Ubuntu may be the distro it ships with. That means it will handle web browsing, run office applications, and give the user a fully functional computer...

Braben has developed a tiny USB stick PC that has a HDMI port in one end and a USB port on the other. You plug it into a HDMI socket and then connect a keyboard via the USB port giving you a fully functioning machine running a version of Linux. The cost? $25.
So this would be for that section of the under-privileged that has HDMI-capable TVs then?

The quality of health care that the majority of people in the world have access too is much poorer than I do, but still better than nothing.

The quality of education that the majority of people in the world have access to is much poorer than I do, but still better than nothing.

The quality of drinking water that the majority of people in the world have access to is much poorer than I do, but still better than nothing.

You get the idea.

Speak for yourself. 17 y/o me would have jumped at the opportunity to own this at this price.

Going Android 2.2 on a 366MHz processor is good enough to do little and next to nothing. I've tried writing on my nook overclocked at 1Ghz and long document start to lag. They should have put more thought into the desing and use an OS that could work well with that processor.

Case in point. This is a program that I find fascinating and a real service the under privilege
