| • | entry for Simputer.]] The Simputer is a small handheld computer, intended to bring computing power to the masses of India and other developing countries. The device was designed by the Simputer Trust, a non-profit organization formed in November 1999. The word "Simputer" is an acronym for "simple, inexpensive and multilingual people's computer", and is a trademark of the Simputer Trust. It includes text-to-speech software and runs the GNU/Linux operating system. Similar in appearance to the Palm Pilot class of handheld computers, the touch sensitive screen is operated on with a stylus; simple handwriting recognition software is provided by the program Tapatap. The Simputer specifications are released under an open distribution license called the Simputer General Public License or the SGPL. The organisation is actively encouraging free software developers to port their applications to the Simputer. A similar project is the $100 laptop, being developed by Nicholas Negroponte and his One Laptop Per Child non-profit organization. Source: [wikipedia: simputer] |
