I would think the average person isn't lucky enough have an inventory of multiple thousand dollars of high-end computing equipment. This kind of system would be perfect in developing countries, or as the project suggests, for education.

Many people in developing countries have mobile phones, and smartphones are rapidly becoming the computer of choice for them.

Also, remember that today's high-end is tomorrow's low-end. Why develop stuff for the past? Don't think of the developing world as a dumping ground for our worn-out ideas and wares, because that's not what it is.
