Title: £23 tablet
Post by: Glenn on Jul 25, 2010, 09:56:58
While the prototype device looks like an iPad, it's just a fourteenth of the cost.

The basic touch-screen tablet could be in production by 2011.

The tablet can be used for word processing, web browsing and videoconferencing. It has a solar power option too – important for India's energy-starved hinterlands – though that add-on costs extra.

QuoteHe hopes to get the cost down to $10 eventually.

At that price, 6 of those and you'd have place mats for every occasion :laugh:
