Microsoft would put poor online by cellphone

It is good to hear that MIT's researcher, Mr. Negroponte, is willing to consider the idea of building a low-cost computer using a cell phone. "He said his research group at the M.I.T. Media Lab had experimented with the idea of a cellphone that would project a computer display onto a wall and also project the image of a keyboard, sensing the motion of fingers over it. But the researchers decided the idea was less practical than a laptop." However, what is more important is that Mr. Negroponte is supportive of the use of open sourceware.
