Ladies and gentle men, can you believe this a $35 computer has been introduced in India that will run on the Linux operating system. This machine will be the solution to low cost computing we all been looking for ands should a big leap in resolvring digital divide gap in many partsof the wotrld, Laos is including.
This computer is a touch-screen tablet looks like an iPad and will be Internet accessible, have web browsing, basic word processing and video chatting. To cut manufacturing costs, the device uses a memory card instead of a hard disk, and buyers will be able to purchase a solar power add-on. "This is our answer to MIT's $100 computer," Kapil Sibal, India's human resource development minister, told the Economic Times.
A prototype of a $100 laptop was introduced in 2005 by Nicholas Negroponte, cofounder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab. India rejected this model because it was too expensive.
Sibal hopes to eventually get the cost of the $35 Linux device down to $10 after initial launch.
It is unthinkable where US have tried couple of times anfd failed becuase parts were quite expensive. what a solution and remarkable ways that IIT engineers have come with. Cheers!! I can't wait to get my hands on this machine and put Laonux on it.
