I don't understand how the farmers are going to receive this information since bandwidth is limited and expensive in India. I am working near the city of Vadodara in Gujarat. Where I stay at a 5 star hotel, the Internet costs $12 per day and sometimes the bandwidth sinks so low it is unusable. My iPhone 4 works great with 3G in the city, but just outside the city where I work, there is only EDGE connection and even if the connection is strong, the available Internet bandwidth is almost nonexistant. Is there 3G capability in this cheap tablet? Where are these farmers getting the wifi connection? Then how do they pay for the bandwidth if they can get it? The daily headline here is that people in the villages don't make enough money to eat.

My 9" Dell Mini with ubuntu is very nice. I also took the option for 2 GB RAM. Dell no longer offers that option.

My experience with the iPhone (3G) in Japan was that browsing Internet, using maps, weather, etc. really sucks up bandwidth, but I was able to get email within the reasonable budget that I had purchased. You can check your usage in the Settings under General. That way you don't get surprises.

They realized that Ross Perot got 90% of his support after the debates, so they created a system to prevent any other parties from being able to join by raising the bar high enough.

This fact does not contradict the thesis that presidential debates are controlled. Ross Perot was pushed heavily by the liberal media to make sure that there candidate won when the Republic would have won otherwise.
