Gizomodo on Simputer

Joel Johnson at Gizmodo took the advice I e-mailed him and posted on the Indian Simputer. He's skeptical:

Although the Simputer originally had some innovate ideas, such as letting different users store their data on cheap, swappable memory cards and village-based software packages, it's unclear if the $240 monochrome PDA (a more expensive color version is available) is really that much better for Indians than anything else.
