This is unquestionably a commendable effort for e-empowering the entire nation. With all the basic features like wi-fi connectivity, cloud storage, expandable memory and two USB ports, the $35 tablet is here to make a difference and more importantly address the needs of students across the length and breadth of India.

how foolish it is.. no gprs, no camera… can it really be useful.?? i dont think so.. though it has android, it is of no use for me. it has a weak resolution also.. . and can it really benefit the students…?? ok. lets see how it rocks the markets.. it will be sold in tonnes but i will never buy this..
