Cheapest Tablet In The World
Yup! you heard me right ! so right that it is even too unbelievable for myself – for in October – it is said to be released at $35 USD. Crazy much? how can anyone sell a tablet that is good enough for anything to be worth $35 USD? even a toy tablet would have cost more i hear you say. Ridiculous as this may sound – this was reported i the straits time a few hours ago. Check out the story below.
MONTREAL (AFP) – A British technology company claims to have developed the world’s least expensive computer tablet for wireless Internet access.
At a cost of as little as US$35 (S$44) apiece, Datawind hopes to supply a market of billions of customers, many in underdeveloped countries.
The student tablet released in October costs US$35, but Datawind released an updated version of the Aakash computer tablet this month for the commercial market that costs US$50. It comes with more features.
Aakash is the Hindi word for ‘heaven’. The Aakash tablets reached their first users last fall under an information technology programme sponsored by the Indian government.
