India Launches $35 (N6,000) Tablet

India has launched what it says is the world’s cheapest touch-screen tablet computer, priced at just $35 (NGN 6,000). Costing a fraction of Apple’s iPad, the subsidised Aakash is aimed at students. It supports web browsing and video conferencing, has a three-hour battery life and two USB ports, but questions remain over how it will perform..
