[IxDA Discuss] IXDA in Bangalore

[keyur sorathia]

Non-literacy is one emerging topic in some countries like India, China,
Nigeria, Africa etc.

I am working on designing mobile phones for non-literate poeple for "Nokia".
I am doing some user studies related to
- their interaction of mobile phones
- phone sharing
- problems in interaction
- possible solutions

Though there is motorolla "motofone" specially designed for illiterate and
semi literate people.

Cheers,
Keyur.
