Here’s a reason to believe that the huge Technical and digital gap which exists between the Urban India and the rural students of India —would soon become Indian history:

India unveiled a Rs 1,500 tablet PC designed specifically for students.

"If more companies decide to manufacture a similar device, prices will come down automatically," Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said after unveiling the low cost-access-cum computing device here.

PC Tablets would be made available to students in 2011. India is going places!

The device, no bigger than a conventional laptop available in the markets, is a single unit system with a touch screen and a built in keyboard along with 2GB RAM, Wi-Fi connectivity, USB port and powered by a 2-watt system to suit poor power supply areas.
 
2011 - Technological Development

That's a great news for the rural part of India. Now we can think of India where every student shall be computer literate and the parents will have less burden over their pockets.
I think more and more companies should come forward and join hands towards this development.
Waiting for the golden year 2011......
 
this is really a new vista in indian history. this will definitely fill up the gap between the rural and urban people. education will become more smarter and learning will become easy. even computational works will be come easy. students can stay connected with the current trends to match the requirements of global development.
 
this is a great news for the indians who are dreaming of buying a laptop but cannot afford to buy one. Since these tablet PCs are available at as low prices as 1500, almost everyone can afford such devices. if these devices get to the people, indian people would become more tech savy and the knowledge would improvise. especially the rural would benefit a lot from these.
