flashlight
Public facilities in India is still below average. As a developing country , some regions in India is not all electricity , the roads were not commonly fitted with lights .

YouTube alternative
If the video on demand services can be enjoyed by Internet users in developed countries , but in contrast to what happens in India . However , India still has a sense , if the video can not be enjoyed by the people, then at least the audio can be pursued .
Audio- on-demand service is one of them done by the government and NGOs to assist agricultural development in India . The NGO usually helps farmers to make a video tutorial . But for those who can not access the video from the device , so they can listen to the audio tutorial from their mobile phones .
Enough mobile phone users to call and choose which video you want to hear , and waiting for a call back to hear the sound of the tape . Ingenious , is not ... ?
Photocopiers
Mobile devices can also be used as a copier or scanner . This is done by the people of India to feature in a cell phone camera . Many Indian nationals copying documents by photographing the document with a camera phone .
