Hi,

They have the web site at

http://www.datawind.ca/

for instance.

The toy seems to be nice and usefull. I wonder how they produce images
of web pages on the server, to send them to this wireless displayer.
Its probably a patented technology but I suspect there is nothing very
complex there. Or anybody knows about a similar open source solution?

zb.

Just curious how its underlying technology differs from those from
worldgate (for cable tv) and thunderhawk (for pda). Is datawind
rendering engine based on IE or Mozilla standard ?
