- kwamenum86 18y agoLast time this story was posted there was an update that said the real figures are 100 and 200 dollars? Why is this story back?
- randomtask 18y agoWell for one thing they're apparently claiming that it's going to cost $10-20 again. Also, I think it's worthwhile keeping an eye on it. I'm very skeptical myself, but if they did pull it off it would be such a coup.
- ph0rque 18y ago500 Rupees is $10, not $100: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=dt6&q=500+INR+in+USD&btnG=Search&cts=1233690658573 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&...

- sarvesh 18y agoIt's election time in India. These kinda stunts are very common before an election in India. I believe this what the government will subsidize the laptop which then will turn out to be 10$ for public schools but it won't be commercially available for that price.
- vinutheraj 18y agohehe ... $10 laptop .. tat's funny to say the least .. knowing India, I am almost sure that this is only an election gimmick to boost voting and the govt is basically subsidizing the prices.. nothing more , nothing less !
