[dundee] India to produce $35 tablets for students

[gordon dunlop]

It has just been announced that India will produce Linux tablets/computers
for students at a cost of $35 with the intention of reducing this cost to
$20 and then down to $10. It looks like they will be manufactured in Taiwan,
firstly for their educational structure, and then for commercial purposes.
Wow! This is amazing if they can deliver what they are promising. I can see
other hardware companies in the next twelve months trying to produce their
own products to emulate this, maybe in the sub $100 range, if not in the sub
$50 dollar range as the global market for this would be huge.
