An inexpensive, super-rugged laptop for elementary schoolers:

And why not offer this machine in the United States? We are a wealthy nation, but I believe there would be a market for super-cheap, rugged, rechargeble-by-hand laptops right here.

If offered for $200 or less, I would buy two of these machines immediately – one for my 3rd grader, another for my 1st grader. No way am I giving these rowdy guys fragile $1000 laptops. But these would be perfect for them.
