Simputer: a low cost portable alternative to PCs

[Coder]

The Simputer is a low cost portable alternative to PCs, by which the benefits of IT can reach the common man.



It has a special role in the third world because it ensures that illiteracy is no longer a barrier to handling a computer.

The key to bridging the digital divide is to have shared devices that permit truly simple and natural user interfaces based on sight, touch and audio.

The Simputer meets these demands through a browser for the Information Markup Language (IML). IML has been created to provide a uniform experience to users and to allow rapid development of solutions on any platform.

More info can be found on the website.

Hi Housey,

I thought it would be worth mention this. Maybe you do not like the news but others might. But who am I to judge, everyone has the rigth to have an opinion. :-)

AmigaDE could be running on it. Exploring another market.

Non taken Housey. (Having a bad day myself here at work, but in 30 minutes I will be heading home) I came across it on another Amiga site as news. Could be indeed also in 'talk about' I was allready happy I could provide some news. :-)

We can always discuss this at lunch. I do need some tax write offs anyway. :-D

I have got a Palm IIIxe myself. I use it mainly for my work. It's a fun little thing. Maybe soon I can use Aros on it. That would be cool.
