We\’ve seen some janky tablets through the years, and to be honest this latest one out of India hardly looks posh. But, for the value, it may be pretty amazing: $35. That\’s what India\’s Human Resource Development Minister, Kapil Sibal, is saying this device will cost at retail. It\’s a type of tablet and, while we don\’t know full specs, is alleged to have 2GB of RAM, run Linux, be capable to hook up with the web over WiFi, open PDFs, and even play YouTube videos, meaning you might watch Shahrukh Khan tribute videos wherever you would like. Confusingly, two separate devices were shown and we\’re uncertain that’s the overall design (if, indeed, either is), but the Indian government plans to subsidize their sale to students such that they\’ll cost only $20. The goal is to have them selling for as little as $10 sooner or later. Exciting? Yes, but let\’s just say we\’ve had our hearts broken by supposed $10 Indian laptops before. Video of the object in action after the break.
