Would have been great to see some kind of demonstration.
well done making an inexpensive computer that even the poorest of families could have
...and putting a fucking HDMI port on it.

HDMI to VGA ports are cheap too
Do they sell a set of learning resources as well? Otherwise it is pretty useless unless you're teacher has been trained

10 dollars for an HDMI to DVI cable. VGA is probably cheaper.
That's brilliant.

HDMI so you get sound out of it via the TV/etc?
HDMI is also compact compared to DVI and VGA.
This isn't meant to be sent to millions of kids in Africa, this is for educational usage.
But if they provide the source code and schematics, someone might just make a spin-off that connects to an old TV.
Maybe have a wireless B/G adapter and create a mesh network between people, so you could send messages to different people in the village.
And you could have special repeaters with a tiny solar panels every how long one adapter can transmit to.
And create networks between villages to exchange information.
God damn it, I wish I was smart enough to be able to actually do something like this.

VGA and DVI ports are huge compared to HDMI. So, it's kind of also a matter of portability.
