India Unveils Prototype of $35 Tablet Computer

India has developer an iPad-like tablet for only $35? And it has a solar power option too? I’ll believe it when I see it.

The tablet can be used for functions like word processing, web browsing and video-conferencing. It has a solar power option too — important for India's energy-starved hinterlands — though that add-on costs extra. "This is our answer to MIT's $100 computer," human resource development minister Kapil Sibal told the Economic Times when he unveiled the device Thursday.
