So I have this idea that you could take a Zaurus-like box stripped down to bare minimum and have it dedicated to running a single application, Mozilla. Plug in a wireless card, and make enough of them to sell for about $100 or $200, cheap enough for poor people to afford.

Wow. It just was released, and runs on Debian:

The Nokia 770 device will sell for about $300 initially. Now I gotta go find a city council who can sponsor all the poor people in the city owning one of these.

I've been thinking of this idea for years, now it is finally viable. Yay.
