GPhone Confirmed?

[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]Is the GPhone going to be a sub-$100 device that takes on the One Laptop Per Child project?

Rizzn.com, after supposedly speaking to the kind of loose lipped leaker you'd never find at Apple (they'd get fired), says that it's not an iPhone rival but a low-priced challenger to the $100(ish) dollar laptop. It runs on a modified Linux kernel, integrates GPS and GoogleMaps and presumably aims to get Google apps and ads in front of as many people as possible, particularly those in countries where computer use is low and Internet connectivity difficult.
