There can’t be any better example in cost cutting than this. For £23, you can barely buy a day’s meal in England. In India, for the same amount you can buy India’s version of iPad. It looks same, performs almost all the functions which its American counterpart can do and which most importantly, can run on solar power. Now the obvious question is, where did all this cost go?
The design of the device is such that it uses minimum hardware to support its applications. And with an ever continuing decline in the costs of hardware, the cut in costs become even steeper. Besides that, the device uses a memory card instead of a hard disk used in normal computing devices. Coming at a time when India is rising as a global economic giant, this project is a part of the mission to provide broadband connectivity and digitise the entire study material for all Indian colleges and universities.
Meanwhile, you have an opportunity to grab an experience of iPad with less damage to your pockets.
