Is a $35 Tablet Reality?

July 29th 2010 16:55

India’s Press Information Bureau announced in a recent press release that India has developed the world’s cheapest tablet. This touch-screen computing device will be available in 2011 and will cost $35.00. It is expected to drop to $20.00 and finally to a mere $10.00!

Although the information regarding its hardware is sketchy, it is portable and has a 7 inch touch-screen. It will have office software, a PDF reader, web browser and media player included in the price. The software is linux based and will be open source.

Other capabilities include video conferencing, remote device management and have multi-media input and output ability.

According to Minister Kapil Sibal, India’s Human Resource Development Minister, “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.”

It’s amazing that technology has become so cheap! At the projected final cost of $10.00 I would think it will have an impact on other manufacturers worldwide.

As you gain clicks, or in Fast Companies terminology “influence,” your photo will get larger. They will publish all photos in their November magazine and announce who the most influential person is.
