Not true (anymore). The Nokia Internet Tablet does swapping. The trick is to combine swap data
into bigger batches, so you don't write 1000 times / second to disk, but lets say 2 times per
second. (I'm not sure of the actual numbers.)

Nokia Internet Tablet != OLPC

Nokia Internet Tablet is not OLPC. It's expensive (and it can really affect longevity of flash: SLC can handle 100'000 write cycles where MLC can only handle 10'000) and it's not designed to last ten years...
