Of course not, as the project isn't geared for people with existing infrastructure that allow them to access the Internet without any problem. Rather it is for the community that may have a mobile device but cannot access the Internet as easily. Of course not all people in such developing countries would have a mobile device but if we take the scope a little big bigger and say, a village, then there is a higher chance of a mobile device within such a community. Through this, we hope that information may be much more accessible to such audiences. It was my bad about that link, wasn't the most appropriate one.
The project did work on palm os so I'm assuming it would work on almost any other device as well
