The $10 Laptop

It seems that yesterday, (29th July 08) Indian officials have revealed that India was on track to develop the cheapest laptop in the world : less than $10 !

At first sight, it seems pretty unbelievable, but when you hear that Tata motors is producing a $ 2500 car, you know they can do it ! I am just wondering what will this laptop look like. As this is just a project kick off news, we do not have much info about that.

This laptop will be devoted to challenge the famous "1 laptop per child" fundation, and therefore will not be sold on the market but used to equip Indian pupiles.

A good initiative, hoping that this very low cost computer will be produced with a minimum care of the environment...
