Here is what I find really interesting..... The very first sentence: "It looks like an iPad, only it’s one-fourteenth the cost: India has unveiled the prototype of a $35 basic touch-screen tablet aimed at students, which it hopes to bring into production by 2011." When will Apple/Dell/HP/Microsoft/Novell and everyone else in THIS country, start focusing on the education of our children. Why isn't the United States pushing out things like this? Why are we not producing smarter children to push things like this? I don't follow the news like I should, but should more of our headlines read "aimed at students..." ** Now I understand that this thing will probably never fly, simply because of the second sentence: "If the government can find a manufacturer..." If they have government like ours, this will never happen; simply because they will not make a profit off it. **
