Government Of India sketches up plans for $35 tablet

The Government of India has sketched up plans to launch a $35 tablet whcih will give a direct competition to Apple’s iPad. Although Fusion Garage’s JooJoo has also done so, their tablet is a little pricey, standing at 25000 INR, which is a lot compared to the mere price of the unnamed tablet. A prototype of a basic touch-screen tablet, the gadget runs Linux and has a browser, Wi-Fi, 2 GB memory, video conferencing, a PDF reader and lots more… It will come into production by 2011. The price will eventually come to $20. I think it’s a good idea to stick to our laptops till then!
