Wealthy Africans get malaria too, and besides, even the poor will be getting smart phones soon.

It's going to be like cell phones which were pretty ubiquitous in the third world years ago when it wasn't even the case here. They bypassed landlines and went straight to cell, and the same will probably be true of computers and smart phones.

Not to mention this can always be an ad hoc tool for aid workers and doctors.
