India announces $35 tablet computer

[fastbilly1]

The Aakash was created so everyone in India could use a computer. The reason that it is super underpowered is so it can be powered off of a solar cell. Think of it less like a ipad, more as India taking the One Laptop Per Child idea internally.

I think it is a great idea and wish them the best of luck.

A $35 tablet computer is better than no computer at all.

People did real work on computers with less power than an MP3 player 20 years ago. There's no such thing as an underpowered computer, only spoiled users.

This tablet is more powerful than computers that took up entire rooms.

This tablet is more powerful than computers that took up entire rooms.

And more powerful than the one that sent people to the moon.

To a degree. But programs and OSes keep requiring more and more resources.

There's no reason that has to be the case. The proliferation of a low resource platform will encourage leaner code.

And being that it runs Android 2.2, there is extensive documentation on programing for it.
