OLPC To Send Rugged Laptops To Haiti

noreply@blogger.com (Dawsonix) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:32:00 +0000

The low-cost laptop specialist OLPC has become the latest tech company to pledge help after the earthquake in Haiti

The organisation behind the so-called "$100 laptop" scheme is calling for donations to help it dispatch a consignment of machines to aid workers in disaster-hit Haiti.

In a statement posted this week, the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) scheme announced that it is working with several other tech companies to dispatch communication equipment to help aid efforts in Haiti.

"We want free ruggedized XO Laptops running Linux (with Wi-Fi, browser, kids’ learning activities and a whole lot more) to go to to aid/reconstruction groups who quickly explain to us their need," the company stated. "We’re in discussions with 5 so far, but want you to help us find many more aid/reconstruction groups and initiatives that can leverage our work. Supplies are limited, but we will do our human best to consider all genuinely committed groups."

Haiti was hit by the effects of an earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter Scale on Tuesday, 12th January. Although the epicentre of the quake was off the coast of the island nation, it was still only 17km from the capital Port-au-Prince. After-shocks measuring between 5.9 and 5.5 have also hit and experts have said that an earthquake on this scale has not been recorded in the region for 250 years.

OLPC is working with US Naval Postgraduate School’s Networks Research Group’s Humanitarian Aid/Disaster Relief project ( and Free and Open Source Disaster Management System Sahana which was inspired by 2004’s Indian Ocean Tsunami.

Last week, emergency telecoms group Telecoms Sans Frontieres (TSF) revealed that the destruction of large parts of Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince is hampering its efforts to re-establish communications in the disaster-hit country. Other tech companies have also pledged help for the relief-effort in Haiti including Google, Microsoft and Apple. For instance, throughout 13 January, Google worked with GeoEye to make the satellite-imagery company's latest orbital photos of Port-au-Prince available to Google Earth.

Mobile service provider Digicel has also announced that it is proving around $10 million of free call credit to customers in Haiti. " As well as the US$5 million which is being donated to NGOs by Digicel directly, Digicel has set up the Digicel Haiti Relief Fund. By Friday evening – just two days after it went live – a massive $300,000 was donated by Digicel customers across our 32 markets worldwide," the organisation stated.

Unfortunately, as with any disaster, a number of online scams have also erupted. The FBI posted an advisory on 13 January reminding potential donators to "apply a critical eye and do their due diligence" before responding to web-based requests with aid.

According to reports on the BBC in December, the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is working on a follow-up to its XO laptop which has been adopted by more than 1.4m children in 35 countries. The latest device, known as the X0-3, will be available in 2012 and will cost less than $100, the organisation claims.

Nexus One vs iPhone

noreply@blogger.com (Dawsonix) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:54:00 +0000

Is the soon to be released Nexus One - Google phone poised to be an iPhone killer, I doubt it. It does not look as slick and Google is not exactly as cool a lifestyle brand as Apple. But it's going to be a cheaper alternative to the costly iPhone and as everybody so wants a capacitive touch screen at the moment, so it's bound to be a great success and push developers to port apps to Android.

2010

noreply@blogger.com (Dawsonix) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:47:00 +0000

At the start of a new decade I feel one should reflect on how the past has contributed to the future ahead, and it would seem to me that we have seen the evolution of a digital interactive multimedia marketplace that now encroaches the very fabric of the physical world and how we perceive it. Consequently almost every media business during the noughties has been required to rapidly force change, shift and make adaptation as it fits into place and find's it's niche and a place to thrive in the digital marketplace. The good news is that now the past decades development and establishment of digital technology has made it easier to leverage digital media to deliver a business objective in a timely and cost effective manner. The business risk and challenge posed by change is not a new thing of course but here are a few ideas as I see them as to how we should look at developing digital media applications and services in 2010.

Develop digital media technology quickly and efficiently using both agile development and predictive project management styles to deliver functional commercially active software from day 1.
Consider all media services will need to be made available to web, tablet and mobile devices with touch screen technology and integrated into all social networking platforms.
Optimize internal business communications by using online collaborative work group tools such as Google Wave.
Develop digital media cms applications to converge with business systems into self contained and unified business work-flow and commercial platforms.
Enjoy digital technology and use it as a tool to enhance and develop all that we do.

All the best for 2010 and thanks for reading and if there is anything you think I can help you with please do not hesitate to get in touch.
