India has developed the world's cheapest "laptop," a touch-screen computing device that costs $35.
"We have reached a (developmental) stage that today, the motherboard, its chip, the processing, connectivity, all of them cumulatively cost around $35, including memory, display, everything," said India's Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal The touchscreen device is Linux based and is packed with various commonly used software including Internet browsers, PDF reader and video conferencing facilities. The hardware provides sufficient flexibility to incorporate new components according to user requirement. According to Sibal, the aim is to eventually drop the price further to $20 and ultimately to $10. The device was developed by research teams at India's premier technological institutes, the Indian Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science. E.&O.E. |
