For once, we agree. The entire principal is actually that these 3rd world country leaders will pay 100 bucks each for them. Well...thats great. Right now as you say, the 3rd world country leaders wont pay 5 bucks to buy them kids a sammich.
Its not a bad idea for school children in some countries, like say China or the US. Japanese kids probably have wristwatches more advanced, however.

Give a man food and he eats for a day.
Give him a crank-powered computer, and he'll play computer games for 72 hours straight until he drops dead from exhaustion.

Americans afford it, but the govt won't allow them to buy it from companies who charge anything but the super inflated price that is only for american consumers.

So in other words, Americans can't afford it.

^^ Yup. We've been sending food and medicine to Africa for decades and they are just as f****d up as ever. Africa needs education, not more free food.
Good interview with an African Economist on the subject:
"For God's Sake, Please Stop the Aid!"
