January 30th, 2009 by Annkur
Last year there were reports of Indian govt working on a $10 Laptop (yeah thats lot more ambitions than the OLPC); however it was later clarified that its actually a $100 laptop that the govt is planning. While that was somewhat acceptable, here comes the $10 news again.
Apparently it seems like the Govt is now really planning a $10 Laptop in partnership with IIT M and IISC. And this time they aim to make it available in 6 months! Anyone excited?
“The computer will be a small equipment with expandable memory, LAN and Wi-Fi facilities. The government will also produce e-content on every subject which will be made available free of cost.”
Update: Times of India reports that it would be on display as soon as 3rd feb …
“A lot of testing is being done to ensure the technology works properly. The computer can be an ideal gift for children,” said higher education secretary RP Aggarwal.
