  Erasing the Digital Divide - The Simputer Portable Computer
  presented by: Edward Cherlin, Encore Technologies

    The Simputer, a Linux-based handheld, is the only computer designed
    specifically for poor people.  It supports illiterate users with
    text-to-speech conversion, and reduces cost by allowing users to share
    it using removable storage.  Simputers are also useful in commercial
    applications, and the board is available for use in embedded systems.
