india launching $35 computer
Hi All,
Thought this would be of interest to the group, related to the XO laptop discussions. Google "India $35 computer" and you'll find many stories on a new computer launching in 2011 aimed at students. Here is a link to one: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/07/23/going-for-cheap-indias-35-computer/
Best wishes,
Sarah
