OLPC faces 'vicious' rivalry in laptop market

It's not about competition: Friend, I think you may have missed the main point. OLPC is not about competition or profit. It's about education and reaching billions of disadvantaged children.

It is interesting though that none of the other UMPCs out there have anything like the mesh networking (even if it has some growing pains), the screen readable in full equatorial sunlight or wind-up operation. Not that they couldn't. There's just no profit in it.
