India Touchscreen Tablet of $35 – iPad Clone

July 23, 2010 / 7 Comments

A touchscreen tablet was unveiled in India today and the gadget costs only $35. Some will call it an iPad clone but the device is only a touchscreen tablet and is not really aimed to be a clone of iPad. The $35 basic touchscreen tablet is mostly aimed to students.

India $35 Touch screen tablet

After the Nano Car, and the $16 water purifier, India now brings us an innovative touchscreen tablet which can be used for web browsing, video conferencing and also common functions like word processing, spreadsheets and others.

The touchscreen tablet also has a solar power option. According to the human resource development minister Kapil Sibal, this new touchscreen tablet is an answer to MIT’s $100 computer. The tablet is expected to be in production phase by 2011.

In 2005, Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab proposed a $100 laptop for developing countries. However, India rejected the offer considering it as being too expensive even at $100. This touchscreen tablet of $35 is supposedly the cheaper option India has developed in reply to the MIT offer.

India is planning to subsidize the cost of the tablet for its students and to bring the purchase price down to around $20.

    All I need it for is to do RDP to gain access to the internal servers in the company. RDP requires very little memory/speed and no hard drive space. Will $35 cover that? You bet! Give me a few hundred for my employees!!!

    So what do we really know about this device? It’s cheap??

    Is that all it takes for people to want one?

    What can we do with it?
    How much memory and speed does it have?
    How long does the battery last?

    What makes it an iPad clone… that fact it has a touch screen?

    You’d be better off with a used ipod touch then a new piece of garbage.

      Its only for Indians I guess for now and the production is to start next year. However maybe if there is a demand for it on international level they might export too. Not sure about this one though.
