The first phones would be delivered in October, said Punjab Information Technology Board chairman Dr Umar Saif.

旁遮普省星系技術委員會主席奧馬爾博士表示說，第一批手機將于今年10月份交付到農(nóng)民手中。

Advice from experts would also be distributed via the devices.

通過這些手機，專家的意見也會傳達到農(nóng)民手中。

"The farmers will receive free alerts about the use of pesticides for their yields," said Dr Saif, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.

據(jù)美聯(lián)社巴基斯坦分社報道，奧馬爾博士表示說：“農(nóng)民們將會免費收到關于在農(nóng)田里使用農(nóng)藥的通知。”

Large numbers of farmers in countries such as India and Kenya have also recently experimented with smartphone technology.

在印度和肯尼亞等國家里，大批農(nóng)民最近也體驗到了智能手機科技。

Hendrik Knoche at Denmark’s Aalborg University was involved in a recent project to design a smartphone interface that could be used by farmers in India, even those with literacy problems.

來自丹麥奧爾堡大學的亨德里·克諾奇最近參加了一個項目，設計一個可以供印度農(nóng)民使用智能手機交互界面，要求即使文盲也能使用。

He said the move by Pakistan was "laudable" but added that, from his experience, there might be difficulties in getting the most relevant information to users.

他認為巴基斯坦此舉甚為“可笑”，但是補充說道，從他的經(jīng)驗來看，在獲取和用戶最為相關的信息上可能會有些困難。

"A lot of the information that farmers are really interested in is often not available online," he told the BBC, "such as whether a local dealer has good quality material or whether it’s adulterated."

他對BBC透露說道：“許多農(nóng)民真正感興趣的信息在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上是沒有的，例如當?shù)亟?jīng)銷商是否用了好材料、或者是否以次充好。”

At the very least, Dr Knoche said, his experience suggested that even farmers new to the devices would soon pick up the basics of how to use them - and that that could benefit them in the future.

但是至少，據(jù)亨德里·克諾奇表示說，從他的經(jīng)驗來看，即使是第一次接觸智能手機的農(nóng)民也能夠很快掌握基本的使用方法--而那就可能在將來給他們帶來好處。
