The Indian Info-Rickshaws

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the internet-to-go dept.

DoomDoom writes "CNN is running a story on how the Indian government is delivering health and educational services on a WiFi equipped rickshaw to the poorest of its citizens. It's a poetical union of a typical third world product with high-tech! Do you still think computing is unnecssary for the poorest of the poor?"

    I didn't make much of that article the first time around but having reread it I decided that it WAS a real product and Microsoft killed it after their failed attempts to communicate internally because if it came out it would forever remembered in terms of their failure to keep their hands coordinated.
