[Reader-list] Simputer

[Arun Mehta]

Firstly, I think it is terrific that someone has shown some technological 
inventiveness and actually done some hardware and software design addressed 
to developing country problems. And secondly, I really would like to take a 
closer look at the capabilities of the machine before condemning it out of 
hand, particularly its speech recognition capabilities. If it does a 
halfway decent job of transcribing my Hindi ( I can type pretty fast in 
English, but not in Hindi), this is a hot product.

Does anyone have a simputer in Delhi?
