Motorola unveils cell phone for the developing world

It really seems like technology for the developing world is taking off! First a laptop for the developing world was announced last year with a price tag of $100. And now, a cell phone powered that can be powered by the motions of a bike has been announced by Motorola. Where power sources are hard to come by and with increasing stresses upon existing power sources, enabling a cheap, affordable method of powering a cell phone for the developing world seems like a pretty bright idea to me. In China, more than 500 million people use bikes as their primary means of transportation. The potential market for this innovation is the huge. Not only has Motorola developed this innovation but they are branding bicycles designed for this purpose. Brilliant. I'll be keeping an eye out for any new developments.
