Google e mobile in Uganda
Ciao a tutti,
segnalo questa notizia dal sito Google-Africa:
http://google-africa.blogspot.com/2009/06/google-sms-to-serve-needs-of-poor-in.html
Today is a big day for the Google Africa team for several reasons. We’re announcing an exciting partnership between MTN Uganda, the Grameen Foundation and Google, and the launch of Google SMS in Uganda. This launch makes available the first suite of applications resulting from an endeavor initiated by Grameen Foundation, called “AppLab” (Application Laboratory), which began over a year ago. AppLab is designed to develop mobile applications that serve the needs of poor and other vulnerable individuals and communities, most of whom have limited access to information and communications technology.
