The Top 10 Heartbreaking Gadgets of 2007
4. One Laptop per Child
Nicholas Negroponte’s do-good project to equip the world’s poor with tough, low-tech computers hasn’t quite worked out. The machine itself is a triumph: dual screen modes for working in the sun; a tough, cute body; next-gen mesh networking; and a simple, open source OS.

The $100 laptop became the $200 laptop, while real, full-featured PCs got cheaper. Even Intel took a crack, entering the PC market with its savvy Classmate PC. Result? Nobody really cares anymore.
