I could not open any .gov site. I tried to open our site, America.gov but nothing worked. I experienced with Amazon and google and it was all right. I noticed you cannot use enter to initiate a search but click the bottom search. Google.com came up in German and I could not change to English. Smart phones in Angola are not common. I used a smart phone to search for a book title when shopping for the holidays in the US – we were in the car and it was so helpful to find the book on amazon (I did not know the correct title) and found it in the nearest bookstore to complete a last minute task! I loved it. My husband recently bought an Ipod and he uses Skype from it to talk to our family in the US. He also checks the news, google, email – but he can only use it in the house, where we have wireless internet service. He can download some news articles and read them later, if he chooses to.
I can see Web-enabled phones being used in classrooms, allowing kids with learning disabilities, for example, and the general population, to have access to information right away. For PAS I can see that the location awareness feature might be a valuable tool to map outreach response when done simultaneously – the press coverage for presidential election, for example, which will soon happen in Angola.
I got an iPod Touch like your husband did -- I like it a lot! I hope Angola gets smart phones soon and the price is lower so more people can buy them. I think cheap smart phones could really improve lives and information flow.
