OpenMoko / Neo 1973 as assistive technology

[Arthur Marsh]

Hi, I heard a bit of a radio interview with a Jason Burton of 
Alzheimer's Australia Western Australia who was working on a project to 
use GPS enabled handsets as locators for people with dementia (who would 
obviously need to be carrying the handset and have GPS reception for the 
idea to work).

At the moment they are using some handsets that are supplied by Vodafone 
that are designed for children, but I thought that the Neo 1973 with 
OpenMoko would be able to be made more suitable for such an application.

I've passed on the URL of the OpenMoko web site to Jason and suggested 
that he subscribe to this list. If anyone is interested in contacting 
him direct, email me ( arthur dot marsh at internode dot on net ) and I 
will pass on his email address.

Regards,

Arthur.
