From today's Levine Report- INDIA UNVEILS $35 LAPTOP: It may not quite be an iPad, but then again it’s not quite priced like one either. India this week unveiled a $35 laptop that could increase access to computers for millions. The touchscreen gadget, designed for students, carries Web browsers, a PDF reader, and video conferencing capability, along with room to add more components. It was developed for the Indian government by research teams at the Indian Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science. Now, the government says it is already in talks with global manufacturers to begin mass production. It hopes to have it in classrooms by 2011 when the price could drop to $20. The ultimate goal is for it to cost no more than $10. ~T.
Waiting for $35 laptop in the market
This is an excellent post. The Indian developers must keep those words in mind on point no:6 inn their future development of this laptop. But the big question now is, who is going to manufacture this laptop for this price. Is Indian Government will support and fund it’s manufacturing. Being an Indian, I could say that, this laptop should cross too many obstacles before it reaches the Indian market. let us wait.
