Comment Reminds me of the Minitel (Score 2, Insightful) 255
Well, this simputer reminds me of the french minitel.
This beasts were before the internet really got off very successful in France, although they were just some terminals with a built in modem. But french telecom gave them away for FREE. So if they want to have some digital revolution in india for the masses, just follow this idea. Give those simputers away for free!
The only unsolved problem is: Is there a phone jack in every indian household?
I would suggest this: Free Wireless access points in india, where owners of the simputer can access the internet.
