The amount of innovations the 35$ tablet can bring in India.

Like others even i was not convinced by the fact that India can manufacture a 35$ tablet. When Kapil sibal announced the success of the product to media I dint even believe that the product exist. I was convinced only after seeing the following videos. Huge appreciation for the will to do it and managing it. Kapil sibal is also convinced that the price will become less than $10 due to economies of scale.




It also brings confidence that OLPC will be a reality. Consider the amount of change it will make to the learning of global society. The students will have  access to the knowledges of the enitre world. For India with a relatively young population, the huge amount of human potential that it can create is unbelievable.

It has a wifi device, a video output port, a sim card port, a usb port and a memory card port. The features are analysed in this gadget guru program of NDTV. Apart from the learning revolution that it can create, I am wondering what are the other potential innovations that can occur?

Will the sim card port be an answer to India's internet connectivity? If india is interconnected the amount of innovations that it can bring is another huge topic.

Will the video output port help to create IPTV platform? It also largely depends on the software that can be built on the system. But if it happens its another area with huge innovation potential.

Anyway these developments augurs well for the future of India.
