Each CM1 machine, from the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project features a video/still camera, three external USB-2.0 ports, plus an SD slot. CM1 is VOIP-enabled, creating another link among users (both locally and globally). It features Csound, an incredibly powerful and versatile music synthesis software that takes advantage of a full-featured audio codec (and the mesh network for collaborative musical performances).

There are internal stereo speakers, as well as a stereo line-out jack. The microphone is built in, with a mic-in jack, which offers another unique feature: “sensor input” mode. The children can plug in any of a number of home-made data sensor, enabling them, for example, to turn their machines into thermometers or oscilloscopes. Read the previous entry about OLPC for more information and video of the working prototype.
