In a tablet form-factor and using an unspecified variant of Linux (that some have said might be Android), the cost should remain low while offering a wide range of functionality. The Sakshat descendant is said to be capable of supporting video conferencing, viewing a wide selection of video and image files, word processing, de/compressing files, printing with CUPS, full Internet browsing with Javascript and Flash, wireless communications, and remote device management.
If what the government says is true, then we have a winner. I really couldn't get to see any closer pictures other than Mr. Kapil posing with it - Reminded me of actresses and models posing for mobile phones and digital cameras. The tech specs are not revealed yet - I understand that it is a prototype and still under active development and they don't want to reveal so much information upfront - if that was the case, then why this marketing gig anyway?
On the other hand, we also have another 'indian' tablet brimming for release. NotionInk Adam[1] anyone?
