India versus World As Cheapest Android Froyo Tablet Comes Into Market and Educational Sector

Almost an year back, the Indian Communications Minister, Mr. Kapil Sibal cracked the biggest joke in the history of computer hardware history by telling that they are on the verge of making a $35 tablet. Market analysts and tech pundits rubbished the claim stating that it is nothing but a political gimmick and it will never be possible because of the rising benchmarks being set by other tablet manufacturers. But, what the so called pundits missed out is, not everyone needs a tablet which can make a NASA space shuttle fly, unmanned. Basic needs like accessing internet, opening and working on multiple documents, reading pdfs and other digital content is quite enough to a certain sect of people, namely students. Indian government found out the exact recipe and made it possible for more than a million students to handle a tablet which runs on Android Froyo.
