Yes they are networked using WI-FI  in ibcss... really works... does not
need any access 
point and can communicate at about 50 meters away each other... in a
kind of "mersh" 
network...   really simple and functional.

The point is that will start a new world where things will be
"reinvented" in new
ways. without proprietary software.  With all open architeture will be
able
to make the "children"  work together in preparing for a new world
where 
the need of "group" working will be more and more important...

Just imagine about 5 milion consumers... 

Here my nepheys are already in college and they now have to work and do
all work using Linux at school and FreeBSD at home...   That is a good
point for
the govern that by forcing them to use open source, makes them think and
overcome problems that otherwise would be solved by pressing a button in
the
screen.
