In the case of the intended use of the OLPC, you need to add a couple of
things to the spec:-
- extremely rugged
- able to use for e-books (carry your books in the device)
- read those books, using very little power (a fraction of one watt!)
- have a display which is *better* in brighter light (strong sunlight) when
reading those books
- make it obviously a child's computer (guard against theft, corruption etc
in the countries it will be going to)
