Today's newsletter is coming to you from Japan, where I am in a hotel room part way through my trip to Malaysia. This item captures what will be theme in the year to come, the Flash-memory based computer (and associated computing devices). I even say a card today on which you attach various components - video camera, touch screen, etc., and build our own Flash-based computer on the fly. As Seb Schmoller says, the OLPC was just the beginning.
