Simputer Available?
Anonymous Coward writes "The Simputer (marketed by PicoPeta, the inventors and manufactured by the Defence Electronics PSU - BEL) has a website now and is available for sale (including outside India). Some pics can be found at the picture gallery. This story has been discussed a few times before here at /. here, here and here. Of particular note are some of the features, notably the device goes beyond the typical handheld/PDA and has some brand new innovations. For instance, it uses accelerometers to sense motion and this is used to give commands to the computer (for instance, to zoom a picture, you just have to move the Simputer towards you and to turn a page, you flick it like you would turn a page for a book. Also has an integrated smart card reader plus writer, very useful for several business applications."
So, was the story interesting?
There's not even a link to ANY information ANYWHERE about actually ordering, or even a PRICE. Nice try, michael...
If you are going to troll against Amnesty in your sig, the least you could do is link to an article, or even just write a journal entry about it.
Information: "I want to be anthropomorphized"
I've never heard a "hey I mock the over used joke" joke before! Even used "teh" instead of "the"! Classic!
I think he's talking about the first picture in the series: http://www.amidasimputer.com/gallery/amida_teen_mg road.jpg
