The old man is back. And he is talking about a tablet, which is powered by Marvell chip and run by Android OS, for the poor kids. Nicholas Negroponte’s OLPC has not delivered the way it had created the hype. The organization has also suffered from internal bleeding but it seems to be alive and kicking. Now OLPC has announced its plan for a sleek and cheap touch-screen tablet for the poor school children. This sub $100 device is expected to be launch at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2011. That sounds excellent. But Mr. Negroponte has to grow, harvest and deliver the ‘Apple for poor’ he is talking about. Because the world still believes in him while everyone is also watching the birth of OTPC – one tablet per child.
