Move over Simputer, here comes "Solo"
India, proudly, has been involved in the development of the Simputer. The one that they believe would be the portable alternative to PCs. But it still has the same constraints that affects the normal desktops.
Like they say - it is an adverse situation that brings about the quest for true solution for the problem. And where else other than the dust bowel of the world - Africa. Nigerian innovators have created what they call as the "Solo" which would work with solar cells and have no moving parts. Sounds unrealistic? Read this article on that appeared on Yahoo!

Solo is yet to come to the market. If it really can perform the things claimed in the reprot then I am sure it will become extremely popular and companies like Microsoft and Google may run after it. Intel has made a
rugged computer that can tolerate the adverse Indian rural condition.
