Chinese Gov't Pushing Linux In Rural China With Subsidies 

,----[ Quote ]
| "The Chinese government's 'Go Rural' program 
| offers subsidies up to 13 percent for rural 
| residents who purchase approved nettops or 
| netbooks. The systems come with a version of 
| Red Flag Linux built on the Moblin stack. Along 
| with Internet access, the software is said to 
| provide apps for crop and livestock management, 
| farm production marketing, remote office 
| access/automation, and even online tour and 
| hotel booking systems. Of course, Windows 
| dominates the China market, and if traditional 
| patterns hold, about 30 percent of these 
| subsidized systems could ultimately wind up re-
| installed with Windows."

Moblin Helps Boost Rural China Development

,----[ Quote ]
| The Chinese government is using computers based 
| on the Moblin software stack and the Intel Atom 
| processor to help boost development and incomes 
| in rural China. By making low-cost, powerful 
| netbooks and nettops available in rural areas, 
| China is providing new outlets and 
| opportunities for the tens of millions of 
| Chinese who live in rural villages away from 
| the cities where Chinaâs economic boom is 
| concentrated.

| For a holiday, it's been an eventful day in the world of HTC-Android-phone

| other things, a new HTC Android device called the Lancaster that's supposedly
| targeted for an August U.S. launch. Now comes word of HTC's plans, starting
| next month, to sell an Android-powered smartphone in China, the world's
| largest wireless market.
