The $35 laptop is here.

I will buy this but I highly doubt that the Indian Govt. can really make it available in markets at current prices.

There have been many such products shown to journalists amidst hype in the past and we are yet to see those products.

I am glad it is being done by the Indian Govt. but I feel sad for the private software enterprises who are just sitting on piles of money without putting any of it in producing something truly innovative. One company that comes to mind who can and rather should make something like this is HCL.

Maybe 'tablet' would be more accurate instead of 'laptop'.

Here is a link with video of the device in action. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/07/23/india.thirty.fiv...

Some of the screens shown look like Android might be the OS.
