Price keeps creeping up as expected with these types of projects. Wasn't this supposed to be $25 at first?

It is available to students, at discount, for INR 1100 (~ $20). General public can buy it at market prices

A tablet for every child in a land of 2 billion with 10% internet connectivity. My motivation to build an Android app has increased three sizes.

More like 1.2 billion, or are you including China?
