...being pushed hardest by those who would profit financially from it - not just technology companies but also large hospitals and medical practices hoping to improve billing and control internal costs. With a digital chart, every test, diagnosis and treatment a doctor orders is instantly passed along to the billing side: Why give away that Ace bandage for free? This could make the billing bureaucracy more efficient. But communication the other way, from billing to medical, would take place too. And this is more insidious.

It will have even less impact on the company's ailing bottom line, because the Nano's profit margin is tiny, says Vaishali Jajoo, a senior automotive-research analyst at Angel Broking, an investment firm in Mumbai. "It will take at least four to five years to break even" and recoup the company's development costs, she says. There's more profit to be made from fully equipped Nanos with air-conditioning, power windows and upholstered seats, which cost about...
