A critical view on ICT4D was recently published in The Economist — read the editorial and this article. The promise of mobile phones emphasized by the author has been discussed for many years from different perspectives; we mentioned it in this context, for instance.
BTW, a good starting point to get an overview of recent ICT4D initiatives might be this resource guide.
