I&#39;ve not looked into this in a huge amount of detail, but my thinking is, I guess, that if someone can get access to broadband via an internet café (of which there are very many in China and India) or a community project, then the cost of electricity and an old-ish Intel box running Linux is acceptable - but the list price of $50 for PDD might not be.<br>

 If for no other reason, the cover price of PDD is huge for developers in 2nd or 3rd world countries (i.e., the majority of the population of the planet) and they should have an alternative</blockquote></div><br></div></div>
