Andy Carvin posts a video-blog from Tunis on the $100 laptop.

He interviews Dr. Mary Lou Jepsen, CTO of the $100 Laptop Initiative.

Some notables:

• the keyboard costs $5 - and will be customized for every country.
  
• power consumption is at 2 to 3 watts!
  
• the tech for the dual-mode screen will be open source (so expect it to show up in a lot more products)
