Rumie is a Canadian non-profit who makes $50 tablets containing built-in educational contents to make education more accessible for kids from the developing countries. These tablets have a long battery life and they only need to be connected to the Internet once every couple of months to update the content.
I believe they're also working on creating a community to produce more open sourced educational content for kids. They also don't go out and "sell" their product; they only work with organizations who come to them believing that the tablet is suitable for the intended community.
I'm not affiliated with them but learned about them at a conference last year and thought what they were doing is pretty awesome. I could've remembered some details wrong though so check out their site yourself.
