At the Consumer Electronics Show, one little product stands out from the crowd, but this 00:00:00
laptop isn't aimed at people here. The computers are made by a charity called One Laptop per 00:00:06
Child, which is trying to persuade governments in countries like Nigeria that cheap computing 00:00:11
is a good way of giving children a better start in life. 00:00:16
This whole project has had the backing of many giant corporations from the computing 00:00:21
world, including Intel. But now it's pulled out, sparking a huge row with the charity 00:00:25
over its motives. 00:00:31
The problem is that Intel has its own cheap laptop aimed at the developing world. In fact, 00:00:33
its classmate computer is being trialled at another Nigerian school. But the founder of 00:00:38
One Laptop per Child says Intel was telling governments not to buy his computer. 00:00:43
They would go in even after we had signed contracts and try and persuade government 00:00:48
officials to scrap their contract and sign a contract with them instead. That's not 00:00:53
a partnership. And it just happened time and time and time again. And each time it happened, 00:00:58
they said they'd correct their ways. And it's a little bit like cheating on your spouse 00:01:05
or alcoholism or something you just can't eventually fix. 00:01:10
Earlier, Intel's boss had one word for that kind of charge. 00:01:14
Hogwash. 00:01:18
And he says his company has a perfect right to make its own cheap laptop. 00:01:20
The premise that we began with and actually the premise we divorced over is that there's 00:01:25
no one solution. No one company, no one solution has a monopoly on kids. And ideas that serve 00:01:28
kids ought to be embraced and not rejected. 00:01:34
One Laptop per Child has been struggling to get governments to invest in its computers. 00:01:38
Now it's battling a giant corporation over just who should bring computing to the developing 00:01:44
world. Rory Captain Jones, BBC News, Las Vegas. 00:01:49
