Introducing the $35 tablet!
I had the honour of meeting one of the Global VPs at TATA today, and getting a small insight into the extraordinary power of the Indian market for technology.
One part of our discussion was about the recent announcement of a $35 Android powered tablet targeting education
Yes ? you heard that right. $35 !
(it is not quite that simple, of course. An Indian manufacturer has made a lovely prototype, and has offered to supply 1m of the devices for $35m, which the government is considering to buy for education)
But = still. $35 for an Android powered tablet (with all the extras you would expect) does sound awfully compelling!
