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.
If what the government says is true, then we have a winner. I really
couldn't get to see any closer pictures other than Mr. Kapil posing with
it - Reminded me of actresses and models posing for mobile phones and
digital cameras. The tech specs are not revealed yet - I understand that
it is a prototype and still under active development and they don't want
to reveal so much information upfront - if that was the case, then why
this marketing gig anyway?
On the other hand, we also have another 'indian' tablet brimming for
release. NotionInk Adam[1] anyone?
