"We just received more information about the HTC Census. The device will be used for collecting ... Census data. In order to cut down Census costs, U.S. Census Bureau started a five-year, $600 million project called Field Data Collection Automation (FDCA) program. The project should transition the usually paper process to wireless one. Harris Corporation was selected as the systems integrator, while HTC along with Sprint PCS are part of the support team. HTC is responsible for providing the mobile computing equipment, while Sprint will provide telecommunication services. HTC Census is the actual device which would be used in 2010 Census and will be carried by about 500,000 enumerators."

While the whole idea sounds pretty neat, I think it will be a safe bet to pass on this device... If it was available to the public that is. All in all, It is about time someone got on the ball and improved the the whole census process. :roll: ;)
