Is this the real thing?

35 $ for a computer. Is this real? We have heard rumors earlier . Simputer was supposed to revolutionize computing in India but that didn't happen.

But think of a chance that this is possible. 1500 rs for a computer. I never thought that computing power of processors are a big bottleneck in making these cheap PCs. There is limit to which computing power is required for a machine which is useful for average user. This computer will be like TV possibly better TV. This TV will be interactive, more choices of channel and a paradigm where users can connect in realtime to jointly produce content. The possibilities for education, personal development are indefinite.
