In India, a company is introducing a touch screen tablet for about $35 (USD) for students. From the days of the caste system in India, the lowest levels of society have little access to technology. Eventually (according to the article), they want to get the price to $10 a tablet.
This follows the concept of the $100 laptop from a few years ago.
It has 2 GB of Ram, WiFi, USB ports and runs on a two watt power supply (to keep the power demand low). It is hoped that this technology can be used to revamp education in India.
