According to Intel Corp. Chairman Craig Barrett, the new $100 laptop, designed to be used by children and adults alike in the developing world.

To quote from the article and Mr Barrett:

"Mr. Negroponte has called it a $100 laptop -- I think a more realistic title should be 'the $100 gadget'," Barrett, chairman of the world's largest chipmaker, told a press conference in Sri Lanka. "The problem is that gadgets have not been successful."

Sadly I think he's right - the article goes on to explain that people want to be able to run PC applications - and again I think this is right. People want compatibility with the other millions of computers out there, not cut-down computers that have limited compatibility with other machines (except, maybe, for browsing the Internet and sending email) and the software they run.
