“BANGALORE, India (Reuters) – A low-cost Indian computer aimed
at spreading information technology in the country is due to be
launched on April 25 in Bangalore, project officials said on
Tuesday.”
“The “Simputer,” which stands for Simple, Inexpensive and
Multilingual, is looking at an Indian street price of nearly
$200.”
“The Simputer, said to cost only as much as a cheap color
television, was conceived in response to concerns that India,
despite being at the forefront of a global software revolution, had
a large mass of people with no access to computers.”
