Can you believe it? For only $35-60, you can now have your own tablet? It was made for students who can take advantage of their studies as the govt. subsidized its price to Rs1,500, but if its out in the market, the value would be not more than Rs 3k.
I have seen the sample review and features but I am not that impress although, at least you're IN as considered a TECHY. Would you buy such gadget or not, and why?

I guess it was an advantage when you're a student, I don't know about the professionals, probably they will go for the quality brands

hi Vipul, well come to think of it, there is no cam for that one, no calling options and is resistant screen. It will be slow too since it runs only on 366 mhz

First of all, since government has announced this, I skeptical when this will really happen
Since it has very low price as it is meant for student, but still there are many lacunae in it. But what else students can get in such a low price.
Today they have asked for a supply of one lac pieces at the rate mentioned by you.
They are planning to give it at Rs. 1200 next year when the target is 10 lacs pieces.
But it is a government plan and it will definitely take time to come into existence.
