Intel Shows $400 Eduwise Mobile PC

Intel has shown its new "Eduwise" portable PC, a $400 flip-open system which can run either Windows or Linux, due in 2007 for education and developing markets.

At the World Congress on Information Technology in Austin, Texas yesterday, Intel CEO Paul Otellini showed off a new “Eduwise” portable PC aimed at the education market in developing countries. The $400 flip-open systems will be capable running either Windows or Linux, will feature built-in WiFi connectivity, and ship with software which enables students to take tests, view presentations, and interact with their teachers. The systems snap shut and feature a purse-like soft handle.

“We’re close to achieving Andy Grove’s vision of a billion connected PCs
