To properly facilitate learning and not just sell hardware, OLPC set out to determine specifications that would meet needs of a majority of the world's poor kids.

Yeah, sure, Petz. And the fact that the Classmate exceeds those standards? Obviously, if it didn't, IT WOULDN'T BE SELLING, now would it?
