Kickass, these should show up on ebay africa within seconds of them being available, then we can buy them and get quake, dr.md and opensnes running, yeah!

No thanks, I'll have a GP2X

I saw a debate between that woman and an African embassador.

She was saying "It'll help the kids to learn"

He said "So will chalk and blackboards, some schools still need those first!"

In fact all she said was "It'll help the kids to learn" as if the only reason kids didn't learn was no access to technology.


It's a nice idea trying to find a problem to solve.




In the meantime ... when is GBAX gonna stock a new niche portable gaming device?

But what if you had no head?

Then you'd be dead, fred :blink:

Yes no head = Dead. I suppose in war torn countries people wouldn't be getting these... They'll probably give them to a select few schools in selected countries.

I remeber back in the day you know 10 - 12 years ago when most kids at school didn't have a computer, and what do you know? We learned! Hell, No one I know brings laptops to college classes at all! I still learn from over heads and chalkboards even... I must not be learning.

Our school has projectors in every room which isn't about to stop being used.

When most American and European schools don't have laptops everywhere, how can anyone think that third world countries can afford it?
