I wish Students from institutes such as IITs get preference. I've got enough contacts (Cousins & Friends) in IITs to get one!

Re: Government To Launch $35 Tablet On Oct 5
So its finally out. Any official website or how to procure it or some info like that ??
For the resolution of screen, it does seem underpowered CPU-wise. But if it does read 100MB scanned PDF files, I'll be happy

Re: Government To Launch $35 Tablet On Oct 5
and for students they told it will be for something like 1250 or 50% of the normal cost, saw a flash news in NDTV ,,, mostly they will give it in some scheme, like TN govt has taken a scheme of providing free laptops to all 11,12 students..
