BBC covers rural technology in India

This article overviews several IT initiatives for rural India. Connectivity is the number one problem. I hope that the kiosk-OS + OCMP solution that we are building at Waterloo can help solve this problem.

David Kirkpatrick - Cellphones as Change Agents - FORTUNE

Cellphones are poised to take over as the real 'personal' computer. As I have argued in an article earlier this year, cellphones are going to (or have already) taken over the Internet. Mass markets, Moores law, and Metcalfe's law, the '3Ms' are going to make these devices ever more powerful, cheaper, and ever more *useful*. This article argues that this will lead to cellphones being real agents of change. I agree!

O2 Xda Atom Pocket PC phone

This very interesting phone has Pocket PC OS, Tri-Band, EDGE and is only available in Asia!. This may be the beginning of a trend where the cool hardware is only available for the real growth markets where the population has accepted cell phones as the dominant way to access the Internet, i.e. China and India. Will Canada and US be left behind?
