  Simputer: Ultra-cheap Linux laptop
Time: 12:21 EST/17:21 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Guillaume Hébert

The handheld computer is commonly seen as a geek toy for affluent mobile professionals. However, the Simputer will change all that by bringing portable computing and the information age to developing countries. A group from the Indian Institute of Science and Encore Software are developing a scaled-down, low-cost portable computer that is targeted for developing countries. The finished product will be slightly larger than a Palm handheld but will operate as a simple portable computer.

The device has 32MB of flash memory and 32MB of RAM. Other hardware features include a built-in modem, infrared port and USB port for connection with other devices. The Simputer will be powered by Linux, and have an easy-to-use interface comprising mainly icons and graphics on its high-resolution 240 x 320-pixel touch screen. For users who are illiterate, the device also supports text-to-speech capability and will be able to provide voice feedback in local languages, according to specifications provided by Encore Software. For an individual to use the device, he will need to purchase a smart card that will store his personal information. Once inserted into the Simputer, the device will then be able to give him access to his private information, such as bank accounts.
