An OLPC Smartphone is for college students of South Korea, almost 100% of them now having both (laptop or desktop) computers and mobile phones. So, our goal is to provide an OLPC derivative which can substitute those computers as well as mobile phones. Though the [[larger OLPC]] for secondary school students can also be applied to college students, we think a mobile-phone type OLPC will be much more easily adapted by those students, because of their peculiar interests on mobile phones. |

An OLPC Smartphone is for college students of South Korea, almost 100% of them now having both (laptop or desktop) computers and mobile phones. So, our goal is to provide an OLPC derivative which can substitute those computers as well as mobile phones. Though the larger OLPC for secondary school students can also be applied to college students, we think a mobile-phone type OLPC will be much more easily adapted by those students, because of their peculiar interests on mobile phones.
The hardware and software architecture is all the same to those of OLPC, except;
- perhaps MX31 or MX31L rather than x86 processors
- additional input/output device, consisting of one display and one keyboard.
- a student can select any size among 12.1", 13.3", 14.1" and 15.4" panels.
See the prototype of the OLPC Smartphone. Sample machines will be distributed no later than 15th, May, 2007.
