Very sadly the Commercial Organisations which have
licensed the simputer from the simputer trust hae
failed to realise and success on the commercial front
due to lop sided strategies. Lets hope these are
rectified such as to bring them back into the black
asap.

Mahesh, their commercial success has been a well know
saga due to a whole lot of reasons. The closed source
development process of the same is just another one of
the reasons. The device is based on EOL'ed SA11xx
designs from Intel with tussles between the
manufacturers on a whole lot of issues.
We all hope and wish them best in all that they do.
Probably we may need another esr flame to set things
right...:D
