That's roughly $2. What am I not understanding here? Is there no coverage? Is this for WiFi? I'm all for cheap, unlimited mobile Internet, and I think American offerings are overpriced and underprovisioned, but I don't think $2 is possible.
What we don't know is whether these tablets deliver as promised and whether or not they suck.
My comment: "Wow, actually in front of the reviewer, so they've already shipped review tablets to journalists, that's amazing, I guess they really are building these in bulk now, the tablet is real."
Last sentence of article: "We hope to get our hands on the $35 gadget soon, we will reserve our final verdict for the detailed review."
My comment: "WTF, I just been gypped reading this fake propaganda review. thinkdigit.com whoever they are gets a nice new entry to my /etc/hosts file for this inexcusable tactic."
The second sentence reads: "The official launch comes after nearly one year telecom minister Kapil Sibal flaunted a prototype of the device."
Also: "he device will bridge the gap between the rural India and the ongoing technology boom in the country."
My guess is "in front of us" should be "coming soon", "almost here" or "on the horizon".
I'd really wish this becomes true and Indian students have access to something cheap and affordable. At that advertised cost, I'd say it's perfectly OK to have rough edges.
