Hi,
On July 22 a $35 (or 1500 INR) hand-held Linux computing device was
unveiled
by Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister for Human Resource Development of
India. The goal of the project is to lower the price to around $20 in time
and eventually reaching the amazing price of $10.
In a tablet form-factor and using an unspecified variant of Linux (that
some
have said might be Android), the cost should remain low while offering a
wide range of functionality. The Sakshat descendant is said to be capable
of
supporting video conferencing, viewing a wide selection of video and image
files, word processing, de/compressing files, printing with CUPS, full
Internet browsing with Javascript and Flash, wireless communications, and
remote device management.
