Andrea Bohnstedt,
The converter box was a generic product from China which was reverse engineered there. To my knowledge nobody has stopped the manufacture of these generic products.

Perharps I may have gone too far with the Ipad. I meant something close to the ipad which is an improvement of the many electronic solutions to reading e-books.

Regards

Ndemo.

Reverse engineering - or patent infringement?

Dear listers,
Prof. Kamau, University of Nairobi's engineering school has successifully reverse engineered the converter box for digital TV. Those willing to visit the fab lab next week should register with Awiti in my office. His e-mail is nawiti@information.go.ke.

I am hoping soon we can reverse engineer the ipad so that we can use it to distribute e-books to all kids in the country and avoid this theft of textbooks.

Regards.
