Credit to them for taking this initiative but please read carefully the $35 is a subsidized price. Computer and electronic manufacturing is a volume business and even OLPC had a hard time competing with the likes of ASUS and Intel. Having said that, I must add that they should be given credit for using ICT for education. OLPC and "Hole in the Wall" are two successful initiatives to show that when children are given a computing environment they tend to learn by themselves (self plus peer learning). Unfortunately, Dr. Habib and I could not get either the provincial governments or the Federal Government to get interested.

Such projects can be undertaken easily in Pakistan, given the chip design expertise available locally. When I conducted FPGA design workshop in Rawalpindi several years ago, I found some people very well grounded in chip design. I also visited a few private companies in Islamabad who were designing PCB's for some of their projects.
