Methinks this a great idea - harnessing tech to meet a glaring need. Why, I'm almost certain that this can sell over 1 million pieces in Kenya alone - if priced correctly - between 100-200 bob. Of course, it will mostly sell in rural areas, so one must factor in distribution costs. How much will it cost to produce a cheap one?
