JAIPUR: While experts from the Commonwealth countries are discussing ways to take the IT revolution to the rural heartland, a Hyderabad-based company has come out with a practical device by designing a palm-size computer which will cost as much a "decent" mobile phone and uses just 5 watts of power. If there is no power, it uses a solar panel.
The computer is on display at the SMS convention centre at Rambagh where a three-day Commonwealth and information technology meet is on. "The computer will cost you just Rs 5,000 is empowered with clean green technology," said V Divakar, business manager, elLoka Techsolutions Pvt Ltd, which designed the product.
The company claims it is a replacement of the standard CPU. It weighs hardly 100 gm and consumes less than 5 watts. It comes with one GB of user space with expandable user option and applications like Word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, Youtube, Facebook, Google Docs and audio video player.
The computer had many other qualities. It is a much cheaper and effective alternative to a personal computer. The green computer known by its acronym GreCo' gives enormous amount of flexibility and affordability. Designed to fit in a palm-sized box, the home computer comes with a keyboard and a in-built mouse to be connected to LCD monitors, LCD TVs etc as display units.
"It could help browsing internet if connected to a basic GPRS network through a cell phone to experience internet on 3G network. The innovative computing device provides smart accessibility in rural type environment," claims Divakar. It breaks all the existing communication barriers and bridges the long-prevailing gaps. The device comes with advantages in-built and pre- loaded to make the computing feasible to everyone and provide hassle- free experience, he claims.
The device is designed to deliver zero maintenance and comes with a licensed HomeOS operation system with no cost to the user. It is eco- friendly as it can effectively use solar power by maximising the computing utility and reducing e-waste, he claims.
