One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project was set up to cater for the world's poorest children living in its most remote environments. The laptop was designed collaboratively by academic and commercial contributors, as part of this non-profit humanitarian project. They set out to design a safe, power-efficient, robust and durable laptop that would cost only $100.

The laptop is designed to be extremely robust. It has rounded edges and 2mm-thick plastic walls. It has no internal hard drive (which makes it less prone to hard drive crashes and viruses). It has only two internal cables. Its mesh network antennas double as external covers for the USB ports, which are protected internally as well. The display is also cushioned by internal 'bumpers'. It has a sealed, rubber-membrane keyboard. The dual-mode, extra-wide touchpad supports pointing, as well as drawing and writing.

The laptop is fully compliant with the European Union's RoHS Directive. It contains no hazardous materials. Its NiMH batteries contain no toxic heavy metals, plus it features enhanced battery management for an extended recharge-cycle lifetime. The laptop can get by using very little power, maximum power use is 500 mA (total), while it nominally consumes less than two watts. This can be achieved by selectively suspending operation of the CPU and by using the screen in reflective mode, when it consumes only 0.2 watts.

Initially, the laptop was designed to come with an integrated handle, to work as a hand crank to charge the laptop by hand. It can be also be powered by a pedal or a pull-cord, and it will also work with alternate power-charging sources, such as car batteries.

Target specifications:

• dimensions: 193mm×229mm×64mm
• weight: less than 1.5 KG
• 7.5” dual-mode TFT display
• screen resolution: 1200×900 pixels (200 DPI)
• wireless: 802.11b/g compatible
• internal microphone
• dual internal speakers
• integrated video camera: 640×480 resolution (@30FPS)
• free and open-source software included

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 has a 12.1 MP sensor, offering a resolution ranging from 640 x 480 up to 4000 x 3000 pixels.

The camera features a high-definition component output. It can connect to a HDTV-set with the Sony VMC-MHC1 high-definition component cable.

The camera can also be used with the Sony CSS-HD1 high-definition Cyber-shot Station®, which comes with the component cable. You can connect the camera to the station, and it will also work as a charger for the camera.

The camera can also be used with a Cyber-shot cradle, a remote commander, and a digital photo printer with high-definition component output.

The camera features three ways to tackle blurry images. Sony's Super Steady Shot® optical image stabilization helps against blur caused by shaky hands. The high sensitivity (up to ISO3200) settings help against blur associated with fast-moving subjects. Sony's Clear RAW ™ noise reduction technology minimizes picture noise common to images shot at high ISO levels.

The camera further features Sony’s new face detection technology, which can identify up to eight faces in the camera’s LCD frame, and automatically adjust white balance and flash as well as focus and exposure. The multi-point auto focus (AF) feature can automatically determine the right focus for up to nine points in the camera frame. In-camera functions include red-eye correction and retouching effects.

Bionz™ processing delivers the rich color and detailed pictures for true high-definition photo viewing and also helps to speed up the cameras' response times and extend battery life. On a full charge of its Li-ion NP-BG1 Battery, it can shoot up to 270 shots.


The camera has 31 megabytes of internal memory and uses Memory Stick Pro/Duo for further storage. The camera comes with Picture Motion Browser v2.0. Dimensions: Length 3.56, Width 1.06, Height 2.31.
