The expression "Third World" should be banned from regular usage. It puts in the same 'bag' alot of completely different countries.
Take Brasil (my country) for example : we have a huge country, and even tough I know there are parts of it (and they are not small) that still need reliable power and better healthcare, I know that the 100$ notebook (or even this phone) could help out ALOT in the bigger cities here.
I don't know if this is the case in other countries (mainly because I don't know them), but it's wrong to dismiss an innovation like this because of some pre-conceived and mostly wrong idea.
