DSK Digital is launching this Texas Instruments OMAP3 600mhz ARM based full Linux computer system for a whole bunch of low power, even solar powered computing for on the field healthcare, e-government and teacher training applications.
A 9 inch screen is the smallest I can handle, and that is with difficulty. I'd like to see this in a package with a 9" screen that could be folded closed like a net book, or folded over to to be used like a touch screen tablet. N mention of a built in microphone or speakers.
Considering the fact that this device is affordable to people at the bottom of the pyramid, I guess we should expect an intensely low price compared to the features it provides. :)
It looks so, I thought so as well. But I did a bit of research about it and got to know that its just about 900 grams! You cannot compare this with something like iPad, cause this is for a completely different purpose..
Exactly... It seems they've already tested this device on the field.. The fingerprint scanner will act as an identity acceptor, they're gonna go to villages and fill out forms and such using that method... Also the amazing part is, its probably one of the first computers which can work entirely on SOLAR POWER!
I think it can be used in several field applications. e.g. a bird watcher can find rare birds by online search, take expert help while outdoor. eGovernance is another area where this can be deployed. Can be used in UID program of Govt of India to collect info from people...
if we see the features it is amazing .features like touch screen,gps,3g,fingerprint reader,solar charging,web cam,multi language,e reader,usb port,64gb external mmc staorage,linux OS are unbelievable in one small device.we can use it as a note book also to write on the screen.

Frankly, I think the device is a bit clunky. It does not have the sleekiness of other (possibly technically weak) devices.
However, it is power-packed with features and it definitely has a market.
