Designing Appropriate Computing Technologies for the Rural D
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in Mobile Computing on August 29th, 2010
Designing Appropriate Computing Technologies for the Rural Developing World Tapan Parikh [Assistant Professor, School of Information, UC Berkeley] Abstract: People living in the rural developing world have many information needs that could, but are not, being met by information technology. Technologies for this context must be low-cost, accessible to diverse populations and appropriate for the local infrastructure, including conditions of intermittent power and connectivity. In this talk, drawing from the results of an extended design study conducted with microfinance group members in rural India (many of whom were semi-literate or illiterate), I outline a set of user interface design guidelines for accessibility to such users. The results are used to motivate the design of CAM, a mobile phone application toolkit including support for paper-based interaction; multimedia input and output; and disconnected operation. Through ekgaon technologies, a company that I co-founded, over 10000 microfinance group members in India are using CAM to maintain their monthly records. In Mexico, we are conducting a pilot where over 1000 small coffee farmers will use CAM to document their compliance with organic certification requirements. I will also discuss some of the more recent directions I have been pursuing with my students – including building mobile tools to improve the standard of health care delivery in sub-Saharan Africa, and designing information systems linking farmers to …

Do I suit an Iphone 4 or a Blackberry Bold?
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in Mobile Computing on August 16th, 2010
I am starting college in September and with my birthday weeks away I have decided to get a new mobile (my current mobile is the Samsung Ultra touch).
I am toying with the idea of the iphone 4 because I currently own an ipod touch and really enjoy the ease of use and internet capabilities, yet I am also a very heavy texter which means I am also considering a Blackberry Bold – Mainly because it was featured in Sherlock.
If you were buying now which one would you pick?
Bear in mind I would never use Blackberry messenger and I am slowing turning towards fully transferring all my computing to Apples end of the market.
