$35 Solar Powered Tablets

Per our in-class discussion, here's a link to an article talking about India's mass production efforts of a $35 tablet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-10740817:

"The Indian government has unveiled the prototype of an iPad-like touch-screen laptop, with a price tag of $35 (£23), which it hopes to roll out next year.

Aimed at students, the tablet supports web browsing, video conferencing and word processing, say developers."

  1. The article mentions that the tablet will run on Linux. This makes me wonder how much of the iPad's price is because of the software.
