$35 Tablet?

There are multiple reports of a $35 tablet being released in India. Are these reports real?

I sure hope they are, but they sound too good to be true. In the best case scenario, a $35 tablet (even if subsidized by a government) could cause a huge revolution in computing. Imagine the possibilities with such cheap access to a computer (specifically, the internet). Perhaps other governments will catch on to this concept? Will the One Laptop Per Child vision finally be within grasp?

But $35? How in the world is that possible? Some sources say that the tablet can be produced at such a low price because of the planned volume (1 million units) which will be sold at cost. Others say that the tablet will be subsidized by the Indian government. At this point, it is unclear what is really going on.

Either way, in the worst case scenario this is just an elaborate hoaxby the Indian government, but who knows for what reason. We'll know for sure in January.

Let me know what you think in the comments: "miraculous truth"? Or elaborate conspiracy?

What would you do with a $35 tablet?
