A Potential Investment Opportunity
We read with interest in Business 2.0 magazine about a consortium of tech heavy hitters that thinks it has just the thing to bust open the market for student PCs: a speedy and durable little laptop that will sell for about $300.
Project Inkwell, backed by Intel, Microsoft, SanDisk, and others, says the machine will be roughly the size of a paperback book and will sport blazingly fast boot-up times, basic word processing, and Web connectivity. Design firm IDEO has already produced a prototype, dubbed Spark. Inkwell is courting school districts across the country and estimates the potential market at more than $20 billion.
