iPad/Tablets

Well a brand new entrant to the market place has just blown the Amazon offering out the water on price...
India launches Aakash tablet computer priced at $35

Close reading of the piece would suggest that maybe it is a bit too early to early to rush for the champagne just yet though...
Critics also point out that an earlier cheap laptop plan by the same ministry came to nothing.

In 2009, it announced plans for a laptop priced as low as $10, raising eyebrows and triggering worldwide media interest.

But there was disappointment after the "Sakshat" turned out to be a prototype of a hand-held device, with an unspecified price tag, that never materialised.


Ah well some things are all about exposure & advertising & too little about truth & reality...
